Is there a way to mass copy shapes

[AngelicGraphics]

Let’s say I’m drawing a fence so the same shape repeated, is there a way to repeat the shape without having to copy/paste for as many times as I want the shape copied?  (So if I want the fence to 10 repeated shapes do I need to paste it 10 individual times?)

Hello, and welcome to the forums.

Take a look at Power Duplicate.

You may also be interested in Symbols, so that if you need to change the shape of / add more detail to your fence posts it will simultaneously act on every copy.

The short answer is that you do need to paste or duplicate multiple times (rather than typing in a number somewhere) but the ‘power duplicate’ feature will take care of the spacing.
