ADDSELECTED (Command)

Creates a new object of the same type and general properties as a selected object, but with different geometric values.

After you select an object, you are prompted to specify geometric values for the new object, such as a new start point, size, and location. For example, if you select a circle, the new circle adopts the selected circle's color and layer, but you specify a new center point and radius.
