Cloning an object
DrawPlus lets you "clone" or duplicate objects easily using drag-and-drop, and
duplicate multiple copies of any object. For duplication, a copy is displayed at
the new location and the original object is still kept at the same position—your
new copy also possesses the formatting of the original copied object.
Making duplicates
• Select the object, then press the Ctrl key.
• Drag the object via the Move button to a new location on the page,
then release the mouse button.
Use duplication when rotating or shearing an object—the result is a
new copy at a new angle, possibly overlapping the original object.
Making multiple copies in a grid
If you need to clone single or multiple
objects, you can use the Replicate
feature to avoid repetitive copy and paste
operations. For example, you can specify
three columns and three rows, for nine
identical copies (opposite).
