The following settings are available:

Multiple Copies — Select this option to copy the selected elements. When mirroring elements, only one copy is allowed, as displayed in the No. of Copies field.

• Entering coordinate values. If you know the coordinate values of the point, enter these values in the Z and X, or X and Y, fields. The Coordinates values vary depending on the type of Face window you are using – X and Y coordinates are displayed for a Milling Face window and Z and X coordinates are displayed for a Turn Face window.
• Clicking and selecting the point interactively. PartMaker displays a cross-hair cursor for you to select a center point in the Face window. The Snap Modes toolbar also appears for you to select a snap mode.
