Copy Point Tool

What it Does​

Makes a new point from an existing point, a set distance across and up or down from the original. The copy starts with the same style as the original, and you can change the style before you save.

Use this when you need another point near an existing one and you know how far across and up or down it should be.

How to Use​

  1. Activate the tool by selecting the Copy Point icon
  2. Select the point you want to copy, then select Continue
  3. Enter how far to move the copy across in the Change X: box
  4. Enter how far to move the copy up or down in the Change Y: box
  5. Select Preview to see the new point in the workspace
  6. Enter a name for the new point in the Name: box
  7. Select a style from the drop-down list. It starts as the style of the original point
  8. Select Save to keep the copy, or Cancel to leave without changing anything
info

The copy is a separate point. Changing it later does not change the original, and the other way around.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the copied point is remembered.
