ADDSELECTED
Quick Reference
See also:
■ Copy, Array, Offset, or Mirror Objects
Creates a new object based on the object type and general properties of a
selected object.
Access Methods
Button
Toolbar: Draw
Shortcut menu: Select a single object, right-click, and click Add Selected.
Summary
Differs from COPY by duplicating only the general properties on page 1017 of
an object. For example, creating an object based on a selected circle adopts
the general properties of the circle, such as its color and layer, but prompts
you for the new circle’s center point and radius.
With the ADDSELECTED command, you can create a new object with the
same object type as a selected object. Certain objects have special properties
that are supported in addition to its general properties, as shown in the
following table.
