Description:

 Replicate copies the selected items into the current editable overlay.

Replicate gives the same result as using Copy and Paste and can be used on a selection of editable and hittable items (see Overlay Status for details of editable and hittable status).

Replicate creates an editable copy of the selected item(s) in a user-defined overlay without using the clipboard. The new copies are placed in exactly the same spatial location as the originals.

Replicate is useful for copying items between coordinate systems.

Note: If an empty new column, i.e. containing no data, is added to a dataset then any item from that overlay Replicated to a new internal overlay will not contain the new column.

Example:

1. Select the item(s).
   
   
2. Select Replicate.
   
   The Overlay to replicate to dialog will be displayed: 
   
   
   
   
3. In the Overlay to replicate to dialog, you can choose the overlay in which your replicated data will be placed, or you can check the Create a new Internal Overlay tickbox to create a new overlay for the data.
   
   
4. The new copy remains selected until you carry out another operation, so you may immediately reposition it if required.

Note: The same result could be obtained by using Copy and Paste. However, when copying large amounts of data, it is preferable to use Replicate.
