Command: duplicate

Syntax

duplicate { <elist> }

Description

Duplicate graphic entities.

Parameters

• <elist>
  A group/entity list defining which entities are to be duplicated. If omitted, the current contents of the these group are duplicated.

Switches

• -ef=<filter>
  A filter to be applied to all entities within <elist>, further qualifying which entities are to be duplicated. If omitted, the filter current_filter is used.

• -g
  Transfer group membership information to the new entities. This is the default behavior. Use -no_g to suppress this behavior, i.e. for new entities not to be members of any groups.

Notes

When named entities are duplicated, the newly created copies are unnamed.

Currently, compounds and sub-entities of compounds are ignored when duplicating.

This command replaces the these group with the newly created entities.

Examples

Duplicate one entity.

duplicate this

Duplicate all entities in a group myg.
