Rubber Stamping an Entity

Rubber Stamping allows you to place multiple copies of an entity, or entities, in a drawing. Using the current contents of the selection set, Rubber Stamp creates an exact duplicate of the selection set that can be placed in a drawing multiple times. You can place the copies visually or use any combination of snaps or lock modifiers. For more information on using snaps and lock modifiers, see the chapter titled “Entering & Modifying Points,” which begins on page 99.
