Repeat a shape with the Repeat button

Repeat a selected shape into multiple copies by setting a base point, start point and end point, then adjust or ungroup the repeater as needed.

1. In Edit Panel Design the Repeat button (Repeater Tool, shortcut RP) repeats the selected shape: select the shape, click Repeat, then click the base point, the start point and the end point.

2. The repeater is made at once ('Created repeater').

3. The repeater's panel shows the number of copies ('Copies: 5').

4. Once a repeat operation has been applied to a shape, the base shape cannot be edited directly; the repeat must be removed first, or the base shape edited through the edit base shape path option, before the shape can be changed.

5. In a repeater's Edit Base Shapes, Change Base Point sets which point of the base shapes the first copy places on the start point: click it, then click the new point. The copies move with it; the start point, the end point and the number of copies stay.

6. Ungroup Repeater asks for confirmation ('Ungrouping replaces this repeater with N independent shapes and increases the component count of this design. Continue?'); after Accept the repeater is gone and each copy is an ordinary shape of its own, which can be deleted on its own.
