The '''Std DuplicateSelection''' command duplicates objects within the active document.
<!--T:2-->
The Duplicate Selection command is a shortcut for the {{Button|[[Image:Std_Copy.svg|24px]] [[Std Copy|Copy]]}} + {{Button|[[Image:Std_Paste.svg|24px]] [[Std Paste|Paste]]}} commands. It creates replicas of the currently selected objects into the current document.

==Usage==


# Select one or more objects in the [[Tree_view|Tree view]] or the [[3D_view|3D view]].
<!--T:3-->
# Select the objects to be duplicated.
# Select the {{MenuCommand|Edit Duplicate selection}} option from the menu.
# Use menu choice {{MenuCommand|{{StdMenu|[[Std Edit Menu|Edit]]}} → Duplicate Selection}}.

==Notes==


* FreeCAD will automatically change the internal names and, depending on the preferences, labels of objects to avoid name conflicts.
<!--T:5-->
* If graphical objects have been selected the results will not be immediately apparent in the [[3D_view|3D view]] as the new objects will have the same shape and position as their originals.
* See the [[Copying_Objects|Copying objects]] page for more details on replicating objects.

==Preferences==

* Duplicate labels are allowed if {{MenuCommand|Tools → Edit parameters... → BaseApp → Preferences → Document → DuplicateLabels}} is set to {{TRUE}}. This setting can also be changed in the [[Preferences_Editor#Document|Preferences Editor]].

Notes

  • FreeCAD will automatically change the internal names and, depending on the preferences, labels of objects to avoid name conflicts.
  • If graphical objects have been selected the results will not be immediately apparent in the 3D view as the new objects will have the same shape and position as their originals.
