is placed at an offset of two units. All subsequent copies are then placed two
units apart.
If you hold down Ctrl while you select multiple copy points with the pointing
device, the graphics cursor snaps to an offset point based on the last two points
you selected. In the illustration below, the midpoint of line 1 is at coordinate
8,5. Based on that midpoint, line 2 was copied using the Ctrl key and Stretch
grip mode; its midpoint is at 9,5. The third line snaps to an offset based on
the coordinate values 10,5.
Similarly, you can place multiple copies at angular intervals around a base
grip with a rotation snap. The rotation snap is defined as the angle between
an object and the next copy when you are using Rotate grip mode. Hold down
Ctrl to use the rotation snap.
To create copies in any grip mode
