Adding relations in sketch / copy command

[davidinindy]

I am using the sketch command "move / copy entities"
If I make multiple copies of an entity or two at a set distance, is there a way to make these distances, etc. become relations? If I make 20 copies of something, it's time consuming to add relations manually to all of the entities.
It appears it lets you do it when moving entities, (which I don't see the reason) but not copying. Wonder why that is.
Are there any tricks to doing this?

Instead of using the Move or Copy entities command, try using the Linear sketch step & repeat command.
That will give a constant pattern of the sketch element(s) & you will only need to add dimensions or constraints to the original & first copy to "fix" the pattern.

And what's nice about Linear sketch step & repeat command is you can remove certain ones during the process.
