Hotkeys: CTRL+SHIFT+D
Command line: CO, COPY, CP, MOVECOPY
This command can copy selected objects once or several times.
The Displacement option allows copying of objects by specifying a relative distance with coordinates. The coordinates define a displacement value for the objects being copied.
Command options:
| ? | Opens the additional options to select objects. |
|---|---|
| Displacement | Specifies a relative distance and direction with coordinates. |
| Mode | Changes the copy mode. The option starts the following prompt in the command line: Enter a copy mode option [Single/Multiple] :
|
| Array | Arranges a specified number of copies in a linear array. |
| Exit | Finishes the command in the multiple copy of objects mode. |
| Undo | Cancels the last action |
Command prompts:
| Select objects or [?]: | Select objects. Press ENTER when the selection is finished. |
|---|---|
| Specify base point or [Displacement/moDe] : | Specify 1 base point. |
| Specify second point or [Array] : | Specify second point. |
| Specify second point or [Array/Exit/Undo] : | In Multiple copy mode, specify end point 3. Press ENTER to finish the command. |
Command prompts:
| Select objects or [?]: | |
|---|---|
| Specify base point or [Displacement/moDe] : | Press ENTER when the selection is finished. Specify base point. |
| Specify second point or [Array] : | Select Array option. |
| Number of elements in array: | Enter the number of elements. |
| Specify second point or [Fit]: | Select required option. |
The distribution of elements in the array depends on selection of Specify second point or Fit:
Second point – Determines a distance and direction for the array relative to the base point. The first copy in the array is positioned at the specified displacement. The remaining copies are positioned in a linear array beyond that point using the same incremental displacement
Fit – positions the final copy in the array (not the first one) at the specified displacement. The other copies are fit in a linear array between the original selection set and the final copy.
