6 Linear copy operation creates one or multiple copies of the sketch entities along a vector defined by two points.
8 To create a Linear copy in the active Sketch:
10 #. select in the Main Menu *Sketch - > Linear copy* item or
11 #. click |translate.icon| **Linear copy** button in Sketch toolbar:

26 - **Segments** is the list of segments (lines, circles, arcs) selected in the view.
27 - **Single value/Full value** option:
28 | |single_value| **Single value**: step of translation is equal to the distance between the start and the end point.
29 | |full_value| **Full value**: distance from the originals to the farthest copies is equal to the distance between the start and the end point.
30 - **Start point** is the initial point of translation vector.
31 - **End point** is the terminal point of translation vector.
32 - **Total number of objects** is the total number of objects including the original one.
37 .. py:function:: Sketch_1.addTranslation(Objects, Point1, Point2, NumberOfObjects, FullValue)
39 :param list: A list of objects.
40 :param object: Start point.
41 :param object: End point.
42 :param integer: Number of objects.
43 :param boolean: Full value flag.
44 :return: Result object.
49 Created Linear copy appears in the view.
51 | The original and a linear copy objects are marked with a special sign.
52 | Copy objects are drawn with a thinner line.
