Redo

This option is the opposite of the Undo option. If you select Undo then the last operation of the design will be undone. If you then change you mind about the Undo, selecting Redo will reverse the action of Undo.

Repeat

If the last object placed in the design was repeatable, this option creates another copy of it in a new location (depending on the repeat direction).

Only wires, line, dashed lines, buses and bus entries can be repeated.

They are repeated above, below, to the left of, or to the right of, the last placed object. This can be selected by the Up, Down, Left, Right option in the repeat directions menu.

You may also paste into other Windows applications such as Microsoft Word.
