Moving and Copying

When you have completed this module, you wil l be able to:

1. Describe and apply the MOVE, COPY, COPYCLIP, PASTECLIP, and COPYBASE

commands to move and copy objects in the current drawing plus copy objects from onedrawing to another.

Moving and Copying Objects

One of the real benefits of using a CAD program is increasing your productivity. The MOVE andCOPY commands are a big part of that productivity. In AutoCAD, objects only have to be drawnonce and then they can be used over and over again even if they are in a different drawing or ata different size or orientation. If you have to draw an object that is similar to one you orsomeone else has previously drawn, simply copy it and change it. Using these principles inyour day-to-day work will noticeably increase your productivity.

AutoCAD Command: MOVEThe MOVE command is used to move an object(s) from one location to another on the currentdrawing.

2000-2002

Objects only have to be drawn once in AutoCAD and then they can be usedover and over. Their size and orientation are not important as they caneasily be changed as you will see in future modules. If you have to draw an

object that is similar to one you or someone else has drawn before, simplymake a copy of it and make your changes.

AutoCAD Command: COPYThe COPY command is used to make a copy of an object(s) on the current drawing.

Shortcut: CO

2004-2008

2002-2002

When an object is copied, the copies retain all of the properties of the

original object even the layer it resides on. This happens regardless of thecurrent layer when the COPY command is executed.

Using the MOVE and COPY Commands

Step 1 Start a new drawing using the template Module Template A.

Step 2 Save and name the drawing

AutoCAD 2D Workalong 22-1.Step 3 Create the layers as shown in

Figure Step 3.

Step 4 On layer Object, draw an

inscribed hexagon and a circle as shownbelow. See Figure Step 4A and 4B.

Step 5 Enter the MOVE command below to practice moving

objects on a drawing. See Figure 5A and 5B.

Command: MOVE

Select objects: P1Specify opposite corner: P2

(Selecting the object with a window.)Select objects:

(press enter)

Specify base point or [Displacement] : 0,0(Any point could have been used as the base point since an @ isbeing used later. It is handy to use 0,0 as it is easy to type.)

22 - 3

Specify second point or : @2,0(The objects are moved 2 units in the X direction.)

Command:

Step 6 Enter the MOVE command shown below to move theobjects as shown in Figure 6A and 6B.

Command: MOVE

Select objects: P3

Specify opposite corner: P4(Use a crossing window to select the objects.)

Select objects:(press enter.)

Specify base point or [Displacement] : (cen) P5(Snapping to the center of the circle.)

Specify second point or : 4.5,7

Step 7 Enter the COPY command shown below to copy the objects. See Figure 7A and

7B.

Command: COPY

Select objects: P6Specify opposite corner: P7Select objects:Specify base point or [Displacement] : 0,0Specify second point or : @-1,-2

(Copying the selected objects 1 unit in the negative X direction and 2

units in the negative Y direction.)Specify second point or [Exit/Undo] :

(Press enter or space)Command:

Step 8 Enter the COPY command shown below to copy theobjects. See Figure 8A and 8B.

Command: COPYSelect objects: P8Specify opposite corner: P9Select objects:Specify base point or [Displacement] : (end) P10

(Using the end of the line as the basepoint.)Specify second point or : 3,8

Step 9 On layer Construction, enable ortho mode and

draw a rectangle using the LINE command as shownbelow. The location of the lines is not important but try

to duplicate Figure 9 the best that you can.Command:

Command: L

Specify first point: P11Specify next point or [Undo]: P12Specify next point or [Undo]: P13

Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: P14Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: C

Step 10 Using the COPY command, select any one of

the hexagon-circle objects and copy it to four different

locations. Ensure you snap the snap modes shown tothe ends of the construction lines as shown in Figure

22 - 5

Step 10A and 10B.

AutoCAD Command: COPYCLIPThe COPYCLIP command is used to copy an object(s) from the drawing onto the clipboard.

Shortcut: CTRL+C

AutoCAD Command: PASTECLIPThe PASTECLIP command is used to paste an object(s) from the clipboard onto the drawing.

Shortcut: CTRL+V

AutoCAD Command: COPYBASEThe COPYBASE command is used to copy an object(s) onto the clipboard with a knownbasepoint.

Shortcut: CTRL+SHIFT+C

The COPYBASE command is very important to the AutoCAD operators who

work in disciplines such as mapping. When copying objects from onedrawing to another and the objects must be in the exact location as theoriginal drawing, use the COPYBASE command with 0,0 as the base point.Use the same coordinates when pasting it into the new drawing.

Using the COPYCLIP, PASTECLIP and COPYBASE Commands

Step 1 Start a new drawing using the template Module Template A.

Step 2 Save and name the drawing AutoCAD 2D Workalong 22-2.

22 - 7

Step 3 Open drawing AutoCAD 2D Workalong 22-1 that you completed in the workalong

on page 22-1. If you have not completed that drawing, do it first before continuing in thisworkalong.

Step 4 You will now have

two drawings open in yourcurrent AutoCAD session.You can switch betweenthem selecting the activedrawing using the Windows

pull-down menu as shown

in Figure Step 4.

Geometry LessonTangency - Part 2

When you are constructing an arc that

has one end tangent to a line and

other end going through a point, youcannot use the FILLET command. Afillet must be tangent to both objects.To draw the arc, you must first drawsome construction objects as shownbelow:

Step 1 This is the arc to be drawn.

Step 2 Draw the construction lines.

Step 3 Offset the line which is tangent to the arc at a

distance of 1.5 units. 1.5 is the radius of the arc being

inserted. Draw a circle with the radius of 1.5 units withits center at the point where the arc ends.

Step 4 Draw the arc at a radius of 1.5. Its center isthe intersection of the offset line and the circle. Trimthe arc after you construct it.

The Key Principles in Module 22

1. Objects only have to be drawn once in AutoCAD and then they can be used over andover again even if they are in a different drawing or at a different size or orientation.

2. When an object is copied, the copies retain all of the properties of the original object.

3. When copying objects from one drawing to another and the objects must be in the exact

location as the original drawing, use the COPYBASE command with 0,0 as the basepoint. Use the same coordinates when pasting into the new drawing.

1. Open drawing AutoCAD Lab 22-2 that you completed in Lab 22-2. Ifyou have not completed this lab, do it first.

2. Start a new drawing using the information above. Save and name thedrawing AutoCAD 2D Lab 22-3.3. Using the COPYBASE and PASTECLIP, copy all of the objects from

drawing Lab 22-2, except the titleblock and border into drawing Lab22-3. Use the basepoint 0,0.

4. Edit the drawing to match the one below using the MOVE and COPYcommands wherever possible.

5. Copy the text from the Lab Exercise 22-2 into your titleblock. Edit thetext to reflect the new drawing name and number.
