Chapter 4: Drawing, Selecting and Editing Objects

Copying and Duplicating Objects
Use the Edit > Duplicate (Ctrl + D) command.
The Copy command puts the copy of the selected object(s) in the internal clipboard. The copy does not
appear in the design area until it is placed with the Paste command. The copy remains selected after this
operation.
Creating Arrays Using the Duplicate Command
The Duplicate operation creates a duplicate of the selected object(s) and places it in the active cell,
offset from the original by one grid point horizontally and vertically. The new objects stay selected and
can be moved to a new offset.
When you use the mouse-drag or Duplicate operation, S-Edit stores the offset of that operation.
Subsequent use of the Duplicate command replicates both the object and the displacement, aiding in the
rapid creation of regular structures like arrays. (See “Creating an Array” on page 129.)
Select an object and use Edit > Duplicate
(Ctrl + D) to initiate the duplicate operation.
Click to place the first copy and set the offset.
Use Ctrl + D to continue to place copies with the
same offset.
