    Hi,

    Its not clear to me what exactly you want to do. It sounds to me like you wanted to create an array of copies but this is a built in functionality in VLE anyway. Just bring up the Copy Form with F3.

    Hi Stanley,


    You first need to use the command, then select the item to cpy and place it (the same as regular copy), then use  .  (dot/point) on your keyboard, that will replicate the same distance.

    Regards

    You still didnt mention which sub-version you're using, but the default bind keys are that the "h" key is used to start the repeat copy command, and then you're prompted to select the objects to be copied, then click for the destination, and then you can press "." to do the repeat copy (the prompt at the bottom of the window will suggest you press dot). The bindkey for dot is automatically updated (in enter function mode) to override the default bindkey for dot (which by default doesn't have a bindkey for the enter function mode) and then it's restored when it completes. This is what the bindkey definitions for layout look like when I'm in the middle of repeat copy:

    This happens even if there was already a bindkey in the EnterFunction Command column - it temporarily replaces it.
