Duplicate With Offset

When you access this menu item, selected objects will not be duplicated immediately. Instead, a dialog opens where you can set copy parameters first.

Copy mode

Here you can choose between a physical and a virtual copy mode. The physical copy mode 'really' copies all selected objects. This means that if you use an image of 10 MB data size in an iCalamus document, you will have two of these images after copying, and the document size increases by 10 MB.
For a description of the operation of the virtual copy mode, see the Create Alias item of the Edit Menu.

Copies

Here you define how many copies of the selected objects that you want to make. Furthermore, you can define horizontal and vertical offsets, e.g. in order to place copies at the desired position directly. Negative values place the copies respectively left and above their original objects.
