Copy Object(s)
If there are only parts of a label that need to be repeated, use the Copy Object(s) function of the
Command Multiplier. The Copy Object(s) function only duplicates the selected objects on a
label, allowing you to enter different elements on each individual label. For example., the text
is the same on all labels, but each label contains a different graphic.
To duplicate a specific element of a label (not the entire label):
1.
Click the element on the label that you want to duplicate.
2.
Choose Edit>Command Multiplier.
3.
Click Copy Object(s).
4.
In the Apply to field, click the down arrow and select the desired option.
5.
In the Start at label number field, enter the number of the first label on which to apply the
copied object.
6.
In the Number of times to repeat field, enter how many times the object should be
duplicated.
7.
Click OK.
Note Note
Copying specific objects of a label adds those objects to the contents of other
labels. It does not insert new blank labels to receive the copied element.
If you duplicate the contents of an entire label, you still can customize an individual label in
the duplicated group by adding a separate element to the label, outside of the copied
information. For instance, if the label you copied contains only text, that text displays on all
the labels in the Command Multiplier sequence. You could access one of those labels and add
a specific graphic. Because the graphic element is outside the copied label element (text), it
will display only on the label to which it was added.
On the other hand, if you edit an element that is part of the copied information, the editing
changes take effect on all the labels to which the information was copied.
