3. As you drag, press and hold Ctrl. When you release the mouse button and the modifier key,<br />

the duplicate object appears in front of the original.<br />

To duplicate while rotating or skewing:<br />

1. Select an object and choose Effects | Freeform to put the object in Freeform mode.<br />

2. Point to a handle and press Ctrl as you drag the handle.<br />

To rotate the object: Drag one of the four corner handles.<br />

To skew the object horizontally: Drag a horizontal skew handle to the left or right.<br />

To skew vertically: Drag a vertical skew handle up or down.<br />

The duplicated object rotates or skews depending on which handle you drag. You cannot rotate and<br />

skew the object at the same time. When you release the mouse, the duplicate is in front of the<br />

original.<br />

Duplicate with Transform<br />

You can now create duplicates of objects that have been skewed, rotated, or offset.<br />

1. Select the original object.<br />

2. Duplicate the object.<br />

3. Select the duplicate and apply a transformation, such as rotation, to the duplicate object.<br />

4. Choose Edit | Duplicate with Transform.<br />

The duplicate object is then duplicated as well as transformed.<br />

Remember that each time you choose Edit | Duplicate with Transform, the duplicate object is<br />

duplicated and transformed once again; e.g., duplicate an object and then rotate the duplicate by<br />

20°. Choose Duplicate with Transform and the new duplicate is transformed by another 20°.<br />

174<br />

The multigon on the left was duplicated and then<br />

rotated 20°. Each time Duplicate with Transform<br />

was applied, the resulting duplicate would<br />

rotate an additional 20°. The final duplicate had<br />

a rotation of 200°.
