# Molecule Copy

- Object
- Shift

Set here the translation vector applied to each new molecule.

By default, each copied molecule has the same coordinates as the original molecule. This is expected when copying a molecule or a list of molecules to a different layer. However, when each new molecule is in the same layer as the original molecule (for a list of molecules, the Local option in the Layer menu), a small shift helps to separate the new molecules from the original ones.

All other properties are the same for copied and original molecules (only the identification numbers are different).
