Ooh, you probably *don't* want to do it by copy and paste. I'm pretty sure all the vertices, etc, are indexed, so you'd have to renumber them all by hand or it's going to turn your model file into gibberish.

You can combine two files from the file menu, though. Open your first .AC file, then File > Import your second .AC file to combine them. If you have a bunch of files to do, you can use the TCP\IP interface or a script to batch convert them.

EDIT: I just realized you might have meant "copy and paste from within AC3D" and not "copy and paste the guts of the AC3D file in a text editor". Copying and pasting *inside* AC3D from the Edit menu works ok. Copying and pasting the raw file in a text editor is a bad idea.
