Purpose
To make a duplicate of an object and optionally translate and reflect it.
Syntax
COPY < $W !
SECTION $N !
BUTTOCK $N !
WATERLINE $N !
CLINE3D <$W> >
< /TRANSLATE $N $N $N !
/REFLECT < %X ! %Y ! %Z ! LBHD > >
< /LAYER $N >
Description
Creates a new object by duplicating an existing object. The object copied can be either a surface or curve specified by name or via the cursor or a Section, Waterline or Buttock specified by position in the axis system. Planar curves when copied will be stored as Clines.
While copying the object may be translated by specifying the X,Y,Z values for a translation vector and or reflected about the X, Y or Z axes.
The resulting object will be stored on the current layer unless specified via the layer option.
