Rubber Stamping an Entity
Rubber Stamping allows you to place multiple copies of an entity, or entities,
in a drawing. Using the current contents of the selection set, Rubber Stamp
creates an exact duplicate of the selection set that can be placed in a drawing
multiple times. You can place the copies visually or use any combination of
snaps or lock modifiers. For more information on using snaps and lock
modifiers, see the chapter titled “Entering & Modifying Points,” which
begins on page 99.
To rubber stamp an entity by entering a single point
1 Select an entity or entities to copy.
2 On the Edit menu, click Transform, Rubber Stamp, or click the Rubber
Stamp button on the All-In-One toolbar, or right-click the entity, then
click Rubber Stamp on the pop-up menu that appears. An outline of the
entity appears and follows the pointer.
