Operation Manual

Working with Objects 71
The Replicate Tool works in two modes. Replicate mode copies an
object and reproduces it with the amount of columns and rows you
need. Spacing mode adjusts the vertical and horizontal distance between
the shapes you have replicated from your original object.
To replicate an object:
1. Select an object. Remember to size the object to be replicated and
place it in a convenient starting position—usually the top-left of the
page.
2. On the Drawing toolbar, select the
Replicate Tool.
3. If you need to, rotate the boundary box to set the direction in which
duplicates of your selection will be made.
4. Drag a corner handle on the boundary box to start replicating
objects.
To space the replicated objects:
1. Ensure that the replicated objects are selected and grouped.
2. Select the Replicate Tool.
3. On the object toolbar of the replicated objects, select
Spacing.
4. The tool is switched from Replicate to Spacing mode.
5. To edit the spacing between replicated objects, drag one of the
group's bounding box corner handles.
To add or remove objects:
1. Select the Replicate Tool and click the group.
2. To switch to Replicate mode, on the object toolbar, select
Replicate.
