Replicate
Replicate creates series of duplicate objects with a specified spacing.
Replicate works in almost the same way as the normal Extrude function
except that the duplicated segments are not connected.  You can specify a
length value over which to Replicate or you can specify a`path`that the
successive duplicate outlines will follow as they are placed on the screen.
The replicate data requester will be displayed:

To Length
To Length selects the simplest form of`replication`.  This allows you to
simply enter a value that represents the Y axis distance over which
replicated outlines will be created.

Length
Length is the Y value used for replication and relates to the distance over
which replication will occur.
 
Along Path
Along Path lets you`replicate`an object by following a defined path. 

NOTE:  THE PATH REQUIRED FOR REPLICATION IS NOT A STANDARD PATH OBJECT!(the
kind made with Make Path or Make Closed Path). Instead, it is an outline
shape composed of an axis and edges. To create this pseudo "path", add an
axis, pick it, and use ADD LINES to define the outline. The order that you
place the points determines the path's direction. If you want smooth
curves, use the Magnetism function along with DRAG POINTS. Once the path is
defined, make sure you name it using the ATTRIBUTES requester.

Path
Path specifies the name of the existing path object that the outline will
follow during its`replication`.

Copies
Copies specifies the number of replications (or duplicates) to create.

Y Rotation
Y Rotation allows you to rotate the outline along the Y`axis`as it is
being replicated.  

X and Z Scaling
X and Z Scaling lets you shrink or enlarge an outline as it is being
replicated.  The value entered in this field represents a scaling factor
where 1 represents no scaling, 2 doubles an objects size, and .5 reduces
the size by half.

X and Z Translate
Normally, the object's axis stays on the path during replication.  X and Z
Translate lets you move the outline in the X`axis`(left to right), or
Z`axis`(up or down) during replication.
