LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

1. Copy objects.

2. Make a mirrored image of one or more objects.

3. Add rounded corners to rectangular objects and lines.

4. Add angles to corners.

COPY

The COPY command creates a duplicate set of the objects selected. The COPY command is similar to the MOVE command. You must 1. select the objects to be copied, 2. select a base point and a 3. 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

Specify second point of displacement or : select the new location (P2) for the first copy
Specify second point or [Exit / Undo] : select the new location (P2) for the next copy or press to exit.

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 =...
