Lesson 7

COPY

The COPY command creates a duplicate set of the objects selected. The COPY command is similar to the MOVE command. You must select the objects to be copied, select a base point and a new location. The difference is, the Move command merely moves the objects to a new location. The Copy command makes a copy and you select the location for the new copy.

Select the Copy command using one of the following commands:

  • TYPE = CO

  • PULLDOWN = MODIFY / COPY

  • TOOLBAR = MODIFY

Command: _copy
Select objects: select the objects you want to copy
Select objects: stop selecting objects by selecting
Specify base point or displacement: select a base point (P1) (usually on the object)
Specify second point of displacement or : select the new location (P2) for the first copy
Specify second point of displacement or : select the new location (P2) for the next copy or press to stop

MIRROR

The MIRROR command allows you to make a mirrored image of any objects you select. You can use this command for creating right / left hand parts. You can draw a symmetrical object more efficiently by only drawing half of it.

Select the MIRROR command using one of the following:

  • TYPE = MI

  • PULLDOWN = MODIFY / MIRROR

  • TOOLBARS = MODIFY

The following will appear on the command line:

Command: _mirror
Select objects: select the objects to be mirrored
Select objects: stop selecting objects by selecting
Specify first point of mirror line:
