COPY


Function
Copy objects and elements.

Syntax
COPY • •..

See also GROUP, CUT, PASTE, POLYGON

The COPY command is used to select objects or elements and to copy them within the same drawing. EAGLE will generate a new name for the copy but will retain the old value. When copying signals (wires), buses, and nets the names are retained, but in all other cases a new name is assigned.

Copy Wires

If you copy wires or polygons, belonging to a signal, the copy will belong to the same signal. Please note, for this reason, if two wires overlap after the use of the COPY command, the DRC will not register an error.

Copy Elements

Using the COPY command, elements may be placed in a drawing without opening a library if the elements are already in use.
