To create duplicates

Several methods to clone one or more parts

The duplication dialog has been split into three separate dialogs.

To begin creating duplicates, select the part or parts to duplicate first. The commands for duplication are located in the Edit panels of the main menu tabs, as well as in their respective panels of the Home and Arrange tab.

Copy & paste

This is the simplest way to clone a part.

Copy and Paste from a part's context menu, or the default shortcuts Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.

Creating duplicates in place

This function does no arranging at all. It places the clones in the same arrangement and orientation as the original part.

1. From the main menu, choose Arrange > Duplicate > Same position.
2. Specify the count of duplicates including the original and click OK.

Filling buildroom with duplicates

This creates as many duplicates as necessary to fill the buildroom in rows, columns, and stacks.

1. From the main menu, choose Arrange > Duplicate > Fill platform.
2. Specify distances for padding between part clones and buildroom walls and click Duplicate.

Note: This ignores the shape of the part. Even if the shape lends itself to compact stacking of many parts, this method only works on the outbox of parts.

Defining count and arrangement

From the main menu, choose Arrange > Duplicate > Rectangular.

Here, you specify either the quantity along X, Y, and Z, or the quantity overall. The dialog is interactive: as you change the Total count value, X, Y, and Z adjust, and vice versa.

For arrangement, you choose from the dropdown Distance type whether to use gaps or an interval along the respective axis.
