The !co Command: Copy Objects

Syntax: !co x [y [layer_name]]
The !co command will copy selected objects to a new location offset by x, y (in microns) from the original object. If not given, y is zero.

The third argument, if given, will allow a layer change during the copy. It should be the name of a layer that is not the current layer. If in layer-specific mode, objects being copied that are on the current layer will be copied to layer_name. If not in layer-specific mode, all objects copied will be placed on layer_name. Subcells are copied without regard to layer_name.

There is also a companion !mo (move) command.
