Can't get a Copy Form to Appear in Layout

Hi, I'm still in IC5.1.41 and using a new kit that for some reason does not bring up the Copy form when I want to copy layout shape in Virtuoso Layout editor. It definitely has the copy option (as I can access Edit -> Copy, but does not have Edit -> Copy..., i.e. no ellipses after Copy in my version) and I can copy one shape at a time, but I can't automatically make multiple copies of a shape without access to the Copy form. Following Options -> Bindkey... in the icfb it looks like the bindkey associated with Edit -> Copy, "c", calls leHiCopy() which I thought should bring up a Copy form. Anybody know how I can go about getting the Copy Form to appear again when I press the "c" bindkey? I see files like ciw.menus and simui.menus in my kit's /menus directory, but don't know if I could apply the structure appearing there to control Virtuoso options as well. Thanks, Sebo

    Nevermind...figures I'd find the answer 5 minutes after thinking about a post. I set ui showOptionForms boolean t in my .cdsenv Cheers, Sebo
