    Copying and Stacking Wires

    Updated

    When drawing a wire structure, it is often necessary to copy wires from one position to another. An antenna array is an example where this situation occurs. To copy wires, we must first select them by first pressing the Selection Box button on the toolbar and then expanding a box using the mouse to enclose the wires we wish to copy, as it is explained in Moving, Rotating and Scaling Wires >.

    In the Edit menu there are the following commands to copy the selected wires:

    Copy Wires

    Displays the Copy Wires dialog box for copying the selected wire or group of wires. The copied wires can then be pasted in a different position, Fig. 1.

    Stack Wires

    Displays the Stack Wires dialog box for stacking the selected wire or group of wires along the specified direction and according to the given number of wires in the stack, Fig. 2.
