Duplicating elements enables you to select an element or elements and quickly make copies of them.
You can also specify the amount of overlap when you duplicate.
To duplicate elements
-
Select one or more elements.
-
Do one of the following:
-
Click Duplicate on the Edit menu. The selected element is duplicated and appears offset to the original element.
-
Press Ctrl + D. The selected element is duplicated and appears offset to the original element.
-
Ctrl + click one of the selected elements to duplicate all selected elements. You can keep the mouse button down and drag them to the new position on the canvas.
-
To set the overlap when you duplicate
-
Duplicate an element or elements. The element is copied overlapping the original.
-
Move the duplicated element to the location relative to the original. For example, move the duplicated element five grid spaces above the original element.
-
Duplicate the element again. The new duplicate is placed in the same offset you specified in the preceding step. For example, five grid spaces above the original element.
