Transform/Replicate Object Dialog
Select any object or group of objects and click the Transform/Replicate Object edit button to open the Transform/Replicate Object dialog.
If multiple options are selected in the Transform/Replicate Object dialog, they are performed in the order they appear in the dialog, from top to bottom.

Caution: Always double-check the values entered in the Transform/Replicate Object dialog. Large numbers of copies or large offsets or resize factors can result in objects that are time-consuming to create or may be off the screen.

Transform/Replicate Object Dialog
Number Of Copies - Select this option, then specify the Number of Copies to make.
Move - Select this option, then specify how far or where to move the object(s).
- Select Relative to Itself to move the object relative to its current position. Specify the X Delta, Y Delta and Z Delta values, which are the object's changes in position along each axis.
- Select Absolute Location to move the object to an absolute location. You can either specify its X and Y Position, or Angle and Distance, if Polar is checked.
- Select Relative to Current Point to move the object relative to the current CAD point. See "Temporary Points". You can either specify its X Delta and Y Delta, or Angle and Distance, if Polar is checked.
Rotate - Select this option, then specify the Angle to rotate the object(s).
- Absolute Angle - Select this option to rotate the object so that its orientation is at an absolute angle.
- Relative Angle - Select this option to rotate the object the specified angle relative to its current orientation.
You can also specify the point the selected object(s) rotate about, below.
Select Resize, then specify the Resize Factor in decimals. A resize factor of 2 doubles the size of the object, while a resize factor of 0.5 halves the object's size.
You can also specify the point the selected object(s) is resized about, below.
Reflect - Select this option, then specify which axis to reflect about.
- Horizontally - Select this option to reflect the object horizontally.
- Vertically - Select this option to reflect the object vertically.
You can also specify the point the selected object(s) is reflected about, below.
Rotate/Resize/Reflect About - This section is enabled when the Rotate, Resize and/or Reflect functions are selected.
- X Position - Specify the X coordinate of the point to perform the selected edit function(s) about when About Absolute Point is selected.
- Y Position - Specify the Y coordinate of the point to perform the selected edit function(s) about when About Absolute Point is selected.
- About Object Center - Select this option to perform the selected edit function(s) about the object's center.
- About Absolute Point - Select this option to perform the selected edit function(s) about the specified point.
- About Current Point - Select this option to perform the selected edit function(s) about the current CAD point.
