COPY

Option

Description

Select entities to copy

Use any selection mode to choose the entities to be copied.

Enter base point

Specifies the point from which to copy. Use entity snaps to pick the starting point accurately.

mOde

Toggles between single and multiple copying modes; prompts you:

Enter a copy mode [Single/Multiple] <Multiple> - (enter S or M):

• Single - makes one copy, and then exits the command
• Multiple - repeats the 'Enter second point' prompt until you enter the Exit option

Array

Specifies the number of copies to create and the distance between each copy or the distance between the first and last copies.

Displacement

Specifies the displacement (the distance at which to position the copy); prompts you:

Enter displacement point <0.0000,0.0000,0.0000> - (enter x,y,z coordinates, or pick a point)

Enter second point

Specifies the destination of the copied entities by entering coordinates or picking a point

When you use x,y,z coordinates, you copy objects in 3D space. Hold down the Shift key to copy entities in a horizontal or vertical direction

Use Base Point As Displacement

Determines the displacement distance from the coordinates of the base point.

Multiple

In single-copy mode only: Switches to multiple-copy mode.

Undo

In multiple-copy mode only: Undoes the last copy operation.

Repeat

Repeats the copy using the same displacement; prompts you:

Select end point (<ENTER> to key in number of repeats) - (specify a point or press Enter.)

• Specify a point - move the cursor in the displacement direction. The further you move away from the source entity, the more copies are created. Click when the desired number of copies displays.
• Enter number of repeats <1> - press Enter to accept the previous number of repeats or type a number, then press Enter.

Exit

In multiple-copy mode only: Exits this command.
