26 .. image:: images/translate_32x32.png
28 **Single value**: step of translation is equal to the distance between the start and the end point.
30 .. image:: images/translate_full_32x32.png
32 **Full value**: distance from the originals to the farthest copies is equal to the distance between the start and the end point.
33 - **Start point** is the initial point of translation vector.
34 - **End point** is the terminal point of translation vector.
35 - **Total number of objects** is the total number of objects including the original one.
40 .. py:function:: Sketch_1.addTranslation(Objects, Point1, Point2, NumberOfObjects, FullValue)
42 :param list: A list of objects.
43 :param object: Start point.
44 :param object: End point.
45 :param integer: Number of objects.
46 :param boolean: Full value flag.
47 :return: Result object.
52 Created Linear copy appears in the view.
54 | The original and a linear copy objects are marked with a special sign.
55 | Copy objects are drawn with a thinner line.
