Copy Symbol, In Rectangle

P+ID > Symbol > Copy > Copy symbols, only X or Y

P+ID > Symbol > Copy > Copy symbols, with sketch

P+ID > Symbol > Copy > Copy symbols, without sketch

This function enables you to copy the contents of a drawn rectangle on the same sheet. The following options are available:

	Copy symbol in rectangle, only X or Y	This option enables you to create copies of symbols contained in the specified rectangle by moving originals along the x or y axis of the sketch grid set for P+ID.
	Copy symbols in rectangle, with sketch	Use this option to move the originals of symbols contained in the specified rectangle in an optional direction on the sketch grid set for P+ID.
	Copy symbol in rectangle, without sketch	This option creates copy of symbols contained in the specified rectangle without invoking sketch mode.

Create a rectangle about the drawing section you want to copy by specifying two diagonal points.
Specify a suspension point, i.e. the point via which the copy will be positioned.
Specify the insertion point of the copy.

HiCAD copies the contents of the box on the given position on the active sheet.

Important:

Copying corresponds to the creation and insertion of a module, whereby module files are not saved but the content of the module are saved temporarily to memory.

If a connection with a flow-direction arrow is completely contained in the rectangle, the relative position of the arrow on the connection is retained. If only a point of the connection is contained in the rectangle, it is moved to the centre of the processed connection.
