# Group Copy

- Object
- Shift

Indicate here the number of group copies to create and its destination.

Gamgi expects users to identify first the group or list of groups to copy. When the Group entry is active and empty, clicking the mouse over an group, on the current layer (local selection), its identification is transported to the Group entry. Pressing the List button, the current list of groups is selected instead.

### Name

This is the name given to the new group copies. The default is to copy the name of each original group.

### Number

This is the requested number of copies, a positive integer. The default is 1.

### Layer

After identifying the group or list of groups to copy, GAMGI expects users to identify a layer to where the groups should be copied. Pressing the mouse over the graphic area in any window (global selection), creates a menu with all the layers in that window, which can then be selected. The current layer is initially proposed in the Layer entry.

When copying a list of groups, the copies can also be created at the layer of each original group, by setting Layer to Local.
