Creating copies of objects in an arc or circle

To create copies of relief clipart or vectors in an arc or circle:

1. Select Edit > Block and Rotate Copy or click the Block and Rotate Copy button. The Block and Rotate Copy panel is displayed.
2. Select the objects you want to copy. You can select vectors, relief clipart, or both.
3. Select Rotate Copy.
4. Set the rotation origin. Either:
   • click Select to use the cursor to select the rotation origin; or
   • enter the X and Y coordinates.
5. Choose a copy method. Select:
   • Incremental to specify the angle between each copy.
   • Total to specify the total angle of rotation across which the copies are distributed.
6. In the Number of Objects box, specify the number of copies.
7. Click Apply to create the copies.
   • Vectors are pasted into the active vector layer.
   • Relief clipart copies remain floating and are not pasted into the model.

   For example, copying a piece of relief clipart nine times at 40 degree intervals looks as follows:
