SAMPLE CPYCONT COMMAND SYNTAX:

Command:
Command: CC
Command: CPYCONT

Select objects:

Select the objects that you would like to copy.

The following dialog appears:

Enter the distance and angle or enter polar coordinates (delta x, delta y). For more on how to use this dialog see the RELATIVE command. Once the necessary information has been entered press and the first copy will be made.  

 [N]ew distance-angle/[E]xit: <Continue>

At this point you have three options: Type "N" to enter a new distance and/or angle, type "E" to stop copying, or just press <Enter> or <Space> to make the next copy. In this example we will press the <Space> bar.

  

 [N]ew distance-angle/[E]xit: <Continue>

We have pressed the <Space> bar a few more times. Now in this example we will change the angle so we would type "N" and press <Enter>. The relative dialog will reappear:

For this example we will change the angle to 300°. So we press the button and the next copy is made with the new angle:

 [N]ew distance-angle/[E]xit: <Continue>

We press the <Space> bar a couple of more times and we get more copies in the new direction.

 [N]ew distance-angle/[E]xit: <Continue>

When we are done type "E" and the command will stop.
