Create multiple button instances
Next you create more instances of the button symbol.
- Select the button in the workspace if it isn't already selected.
- Select Edit > Clone.
A new instance of the button appears on top of the original button.
- Hold down Shift while pressing the Right Arrow key repeatedly to move the new instance to the right.
Holding down the Shift key moves the instance in 10-pixel increments. If necessary, use the arrow keys alone to move the selection one pixel at a time.
Position the instance to the immediate right of the original instance, but not overlapping, as shown in the following illustration:
- Clone two more instances of the button, and position each to the right of the previous instance.
As a shortcut, you can press Alt (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) while dragging the selected instance with the pointer to make a copy of it. After positioning the new instance to the immediate right of the previous instance, select Edit > Repeat Duplicate to automatically create and place another copy of the instance.
