1	Select an object.

2	Choose Copy from the Edit menu.

3	Choose Paste from the Edit menu.

4	Position the new object.

You can duplicate an object just as you would with geometric shapes in a drawing application. The copied object has the dimensions and most other attributes of the original object.

In addition to the objects that appear on the interface, you can copy your custom non-UI objectsÐrepresented as cubes in the icon mode of the nib file window Instances displayÐas well as your windows and panels. Just click to select them and then copy and paste.

Tip: Instead of choosing Copy and Paste from the Edit menu, you can press Command-c (Copy) and Command-v (Paste).

You can also duplicate groups of selected objects by copying them and then pasting them. See ªSelecting Multiple Objectsº in this chapter for details on making multiple selections of objects.  ;ComposingConcepts.rtfd;SelectingMultipleObjects;¬
