Lesson: Creating New Objects from Existing
Lesson: Objects
This lesson describes how to duplicate geometry in the drawing by using the Copy command.
Since the inception of computer aided design, one of the biggest benefits has been the ability to easily
copy geometry and use it in other places on the drawing instead of having to manually redraw the
geometry when you need it.
Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
■ Use grips or the Copy command to copy objects in the drawing.
