Duplicate

The Duplicate tools found on the Nesting tab let you duplicate copies already on the table. Caution should be used with these tools as they can result in overlapping and out of bounds patterns. You can use tools in the Bounds Group to verify if these conditions exist.

Delta

Delta will make a copy according to the delta X and delta Y values from the original copy. Click on the Delta icon to open the delta menu.

Duplicate delta button

Enter the Delta X and Delta Y values and click OK to make a copy.

Duplicate delta pop up menu

Array

Array will create an array of the selected copies. This is a good way to fill an entire table with patterns you have already nested.

Duplicate array button

You can fill the whole table if Fill Table is turned on or you can enter a specific number of rows and columns of the array. The copies will be the same orientation as the original copy unless Mirror Every Other Row or Mirror Every Other Column is on.
