Objects creation and modification	Modifying existing objects
Copying objects
Overview     Operations    Commands

It is possible to create duplicates of objects at a specified distance and direction from the originals.

Use coordinates, grid snap, object snaps and other tools to copy objects with precision.

Specifying a distance with two points

Copy an object using the distance and direction specified by a base point followed by a second point.

Specifying the distance with relative coordinates

Copy an object using a relative distance by entering the values of the coordinates for the first point and pressing ENTER for the second point. The values of the coordinates values are used as a relative displacement rather than the location of a base point.

Nota Do not include an @ sign as for the normal relative coordinates, because relative coordinates are already expected.

To copy objects a specified distance, it is also possible to use the direct distance entry with Ortho mode and Polar tracking. For more information, see Entering direct distances.
