Using Duplicate Multiple

Using duplicate multiple is an effective way of creating lots of Feed rectangles that follow a pattern.

  1. Add a Feed rectangle with a size of 256x192 at the position 0,0 on both the source and the output. alt text
  2. Right-click the Feed rectangle. This will open up the Feed Rectangle Editor .
  3. Left-click duplicate multiple in the Feed rectangle editor. alt text alt text Duplicate Multiple option is used as a quick method of creating lots of Feed rectangles that follow a pattern

This will open up a window with the following options:

Number of duplicates

This is the number of times you want to duplicate the Feed rectangle.

Source offset

This is the offset from the original Feed rectangle in the source that you want to increment. The input is x, y.

Destination offset

This is the offset from the original Feed rectangle in the feed output that you want to increment. The input is x, y.

  1. Set the number of duplicates to 3 to duplicate it 3 times.
  2. Set the x coordinate of the source offset and output offset to 256 and the y coordinate to 0.
  3. Left-click ok. This will create 3 Feed rectangles at x + 256 (with x being the x coordinate of the previous Feed rectangle) and at y + 0, placing them directly next to each other. This will create your first row. Destination offset
  4. Select all the feed rectangles in the first row.
  5. Set the number of duplicates to 3 to duplicate it 3 times.
  6. Set the x coordinate of the source offset and output offset to 0 and the y coordinate to 192.
  7. Left-click ok. This will duplicate each row below the previous row, completing the grid of Feed rectangles. As you can see, Designer will name the feed rectangles sequentially in the order they are created.
