Duplicate (Methods)

If the Duplicate / Multiline (F7) function is active (for example if the CTRL key was held down) during the execution of an object manipulation function (e.g. Move or Edit Properties), a copy of the chosen objects is generated and manipulated. In this way objects can easily be duplicated.

If a command requires a point entry as last parameter, and the duplicate was activated by holding the CTRL key down, several target points can be entered immediately after each other to create multiple manipulated copies of the chosen objects. As soon as the CTRL key is released, the command is terminated. Anyway, it remains active, so a new set of objects can immediately be chosen for modification.
