Description
Copies the selected sketch elements from one point to another, using the last selected point as reference. When a copy is made, there is no link established between the copy and the original, see 
Sketcher Clone.
Usage
- Select sketcher element for copy operation.
- Click on the
Copy button in the toolbar or choose Sketch → Sketcher tools → Copy from the Sketch menu. - Move the mouse in the 3D view to the desired location for the copy.
By keeping Shift pressed, the angle to the location point can be fixed in steps of 5°. introduced in version 0.20 - Left-click in the 3D view to create the copy.
No extra constraints are added.
