Duplicate / Multiline (F7) (Extra Menu)

This command can be used to turn the duplicate / multiline function on or off. Depending on the currently active command this function will either operate as the "duplicate function" or as the "multiline function".

When modifying existing objects (e.g. scaling or rotating), the "duplicate function" is used. It determines whether the objects are modified themselves or whether a duplicate is generated and modified instead. If the "duplicate function" is on, a small plus sign + is shown above and to the right of the crosshairs intersection.

When creating new objects (e.g. drawing a line or circle), the "multiline function" is used. It determines whether several parallel or concentric objects are created at once (depending on the multiline parameters) or not. If the "multiline function" is on, three small parallel lines /// are shown above and to the right of the crosshairs intersection. To edit the multiline parameters use the command Multiline Parameters.

During point entry the duplicate / multiline function can be briefly (de)activated by holding down the CTRL key.
