Clone Sketch Elements (3-D)

Sketch > Clone

The functions for the cloning (=copying) of graphical elements of the active Sketch/3-D Sketch are largely similar to the Transform functions. The difference is that identified graphical element are cloned and the transformation is applied to each of the copies.

Please note that the original c-edge is also included in the number of copies!

Example:

Let us assume that you clone a sketch by a 45° rotation. The number of copies is 4. The original sketch (Copy 1) will remain unchanged, the second copy is rotated 45°, the third copy is rotated 90° (compared to the original), the fourth copy is rotated 135°.

	Clone individual GE, Move Copies individual graphical elements of the active sketch by moving them.
	Clone individual GE, Rotate Copies individual graphical elements of the active sketch by rotating them.
	Clone individual GE, Mirror Copies individual graphical elements of the active sketch via mirroring.
	Clone individual GE, Scale Copies individual graphical elements of the active sketch via scaling.

The Clone functions work in the same way as the same-named Transform functions. When using the Clone functions, you need to additionally specify the number of copies ("clones"), including the original.
