Create a Copy in the Same Location as the Original
You may want to make a copy of an object in exactly the same location as the original object. To
accomplish this, first select the object you want to copy, and then select Edit  Clone from the menu
bar or press Ctrl+V on the keyboard. You will see a Clone Options dialog box similar to the one that
you saw in the preceding exercise. Set your options and click OK. Note that the new copy doesn’t
appear at first, because it occupies the same space as the original. (You can accomplish the same
thing by Shift+clicking on an object with the Select and Move tool or by selecting Clone from the
Transform quad menu, which can be accessed by right-clicking the object.)
