Copy

The copy tool copies entities. When pasting entities, relative Cartesian coordinates can be useful. For example, @5,-1 will place a copy 5 units to the right and one unit down.


Once the first copy has been pasted, you will be prompted to create another copy: Specify second point>>. You can either specify the location for another copy or exit out of the copy command by hitting enter.
