Copy Objects
 
 
 

You can copy single or multiple objects within the current drawing. Offsetting creates new objects at a specified distance from selected objects, or through a specified point. Mirroring creates a mirror image of objects in a specified mirror line. Arraying creates sets of copied objects in a rectangular or circular pattern.

For more information about copying objects, see “Copy, Offset, or Mirror Objects” in the User's Guide.

NoteYou cannot perform any of the copy methods while simultaneously iterating through a collection. An iteration will open the workspace for a read-only operation while these methods attempt to perform a read-write operation. Complete any iteration of a collection before you call these methods.
