Description This command is used to copy a selection multiple times onto the current document.

Use After launching the command, the cursor will change to a square and you will enter copy mode. You will be prompted to select objects to include in the copy. Simply position the cursor over an object you wish to include in the selection and click. Clicking away from an object allows you to drag a selection area, for including multiple objects in the selection. Selection is cumulative.

Continue adding objects to the selection and then right-click when all required objects have been selected. A bounding box will appear around the selection and you will be prompted to select a reference point. This is a coordinate relative to the selected object(s) and is used to accurately position the copies of the selection in the workspace. Position the cursor where you wish the reference point to be and click. A copy of the bounding box will appear floating on the cursor - held by the reference point.

Move the copy to the required location in the workspace and click to place.

Continue placing further copies of the selection, or right-click to exit.

Notes The command can be canceled at any stage before placement of the first copy of the selection, by pressing ESC.

When choosing the reference point for the copy and also when clicking to place copies, small white crosses will appear. These are reference point markers and can be cleared by using the refresh command.
