# Direction Copy

- Object
- Shift

Set here the translation vector applied to each new direction.

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

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