# Molecule Copy

- Object
- Shift

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

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

### Name

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

### Number

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

### Layer

After identifying the molecule or list of molecules to copy, GAMGI expects users to identify a layer to where the molecules 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 molecules, the copies can also be created at the layer of each original molecule, by setting Layer to Local.
