Duplicate objects
Use the
Duplicate
option on the Edit
menu to make a copy of the selected object or objects. The duplicated object is placed slightly offset from the original.To duplicate objects
- Select one or more objects.
- Do one of the following:
- From theEditmenu, selectDuplicate.
- Click
on the toolbar.
- Right-click the selected objects and selectDuplicate.TIP:
- If you duplicate an object, move it, and then selectDuplicateagain, the object will be duplicated and moved in one step. This is useful for creating a series of objects with an equal distance between them.
- Any animation attached to the object is also duplicated. If a group is duplicated, the new copy of the group can be ungrouped to individual objects.
- Duplicate works until you cancel the object's selection.
- Duplicate does not use the clipboard, so the clipboard’s contents are not changed when you use this command.
