■ With the command line blank, click the
line.
■ Select a grip at one of the endpoints.
■ Right-click the grip and click Move.
■ Right-click again and click Copy.
■ Continue to click in the drawing window to
make multiple copies of the line.
■ Press ESC to end the copy procedure.
■ Press ESC to clear the line selection.
Note the following:
■ When using copy with grips, select Copy
after you have selected an option, such as
Move, Mirror, Rotate, Scale, or Stretch.
■ Stretch with grips is the default action.
■ How the object behaves with grips often
depends on which grip you select. For
instance, if you had selected the midpoint
grip of the line instead of the endpoint, it
would have enabled you to move the line
as you copied it.
