Multiply creates any number of exact copies of selected elements on the current story, using one the following methods:
- Drag multiplies the copies along a straight path defined by the reference line.
- Rotate multiplies the copies along an arc, using the angle specified in the reference arc.
- Elevate stacks the copies with a vertical displacement. (Not available in 3D Document or Detail/Worksheet window.)
- Matrix will place the copies of the selected element(s) to a matrix defined by two perpendicular reference lines. When choosing the Matrix option, you need to define the number of copies for both the first and the second stroke of the matrix. Two parameters for the vertical displacement can also be set.
