When preparing a design it is sometimes necessary to replicate existing items on the plan. The Copy tools allow you to do this and depending on the tool used, can align and space items as required.

All Copy tools have a 'no dialog' shortcut, which repeats the last copy without showing the dialog each time.

For example to speed up Offset copy you can:

1. Draw an arc (for example).
2. Select Offset copy, click the arc and enter a fixed offset distance.
3. Copy the arc to the inside.
4. Offset copy is still selected so, HOLD SHIFT and click the new arc.
5. Copy the new arc at the same offset, to the inside.
6. HOLDING SHIFT, keep clicking the new arcs to repeat the copy as
   many times as required.

Be sure to select the Copy tool before clicking on the object. If the object is selected before the Copy tool is invoked, the tool will only be active for one action.

(Note the Copy tools are found in the Modify menu in Pro V11+ and are found in the Tools menu in Pro Version 10.5).
