Copy Multiple

Scott McKenzie

Copy multiple is no longer on by default in V12.1.10, has anybody else noticed this?

Juraj Matel

In new installation or in update? I have update and all is as must be = copy multiple.

@ Scott: you can this behaviour inside the copy command:
: co
Select entities to copy:
Entities in set: 1
Select entities to copy:
Current copy mode: Multiple
Enter base point: mOde/:
Enter second point: :
Enter second point: Undo/Exit:

Improved version of the command history in my previous post (with correct pointy brackets):
: co
Select entities to copy:
Entities in set: 1
Select entities to copy:
Current copy mode: Multiple
Enter base point: mOde/<Displacement>:
Enter second point: <ENTER to use base point as displacement>:
Enter second point: Undo/Exit:

... Final attempt:
: COPY
Select entities to copy:
Entities in set: 1
Select entities to copy:
Current copy mode: Single
Enter base point: mOde/Multiple/<Displacement>: O
Enter a copy mode: Multiple/<Single>: m
Current copy mode: Multiple
Enter base point: mOde/<Displacement>:
Enter second point: <ENTER to use base point as displacement>:
Enter second point: Undo/Exit:
Enter second point: Undo/Exit:
Enter second point: Undo/Exit:

Wether multiple copies or a single copy are created is controlled by the COPYMODE system variable, which can be set either at the command line or in the Settings dialog box. The value of COPYMODE is saved in the registry and thus applies to all drawings. If COPYMODE = 1 (ON), a single copy is created, if COPYMODE = 0 (OFF) multiple copies are created.

 Thank you for the replies, not too sure what happened, but it suddenly set copymode to 0 - no lisp routines were used during the drawing.  Upon restarting the variable was set back to 1...
