Grouping a set of lines then copy

[iamlegend]

I want to group a set of lines, then i want to be able to essential copy and paste them, and manually place them where i want them, via moving the mouse.

 

is this possible?

 

basically i have created a shape, now i need to copy it, to be able to keep it the same size as the original without having to re-do it.

ah, i have figured it out, just shows you what messing about with buttons can teach you!

If you are new to AutoCAD one thing to learn now is that there are many ways to do any given operation.

 

To copy an item, or a group of items you can use the simple AutoCAD command COPY to copy within your drawing. If you want them in another drawing or application use the Windows copy/paste just as with any other program. I prefer ctrl-c and ctrl-v for copy/paste this way.

 

If indeed you wanted to group items together you can either create a block from them OR you can use the GROUP command. Then you can copy and paste til your hearts content.
