Detailed Command syntax for COPY w rotation option

autodeskguest

I cannot find complete command syntax for a COPY command in a text script.

I want to copy the last selected group and apply an arbitrary rotation to it

at the same time.

All the literature I find alludes that it can be done and to follow the same

sytax as for the MOVE command, but, alas, I cannot find MOVE detailed syntax

either.

 

so far, all I have is:

    COPY (C> 0 0) (0 0); # copies last group using origin as reference point

and then places copy back on origin.

but this is only a normal copy, but I want to add an arbitrary rotation of

"n" degress when it is placed.

 

By the way, is there a good textual command syntax for all the commands

anywhere which includes all options?

 

thanks,

Dan

    Simply do a

     

       ROTATE Rn (>0 0);

     

    after the COPY command.

     

    BTW: The C inside the parenthesis is not necessary.

    Richard-

     

    Does the lack of a reference mean that there  is no "good textual command

    syntax for all the commands  anywhere "?
