The Duplicate command on the Edit menu creates a copy of an object that is offset from the original object. The amount of the offset is determined by the Offset for Duplicate settings on the General tab of the Options dialog box. For information on setting the duplicate offset, see General Options.
For convenience, the duplicated object is automatically selected.
The Clone command on the Edit menu creates a copy of an object that is positioned on top of the original object (no offset).
For convenience, the cloned object is automatically selected.
