Surveyor 2.0 Question on how to copy and paste single objects multiple times in Surveyor

Hello everyone, question, does anyone know exactly what is the key command to and or once you select an object, how to then copy that same object or the same group of objects you selected and copy and then be able to paste it more than one time so that it can help save you time when you don't have to keep on pasting every single of the same object over and over again in the Surveyor 2.0? Unless if this command key is in the guide tutorial or something in which I didn't get the chance to review that part but I have Surveyor 2.0 from the platinum edition and I am learning how to use it slowly.

Thanks in advance and any advice is appreciated.

Select an object or multiple objects, hold the CTRL key down and drag the x or y pointer with the mouse. This gives you a copy. Do not click on anything else so that the obects are still selected. Hold the CTRL key down and drag again. Repeat as many times as required. Much easier than scrapbook.
 
Much easier than scrapbook
I regularly use both the scrapbook and cloning (as described above). Both have their advantages but the scrapbook method allows you to create and store in Surveyor a "Library" of multiple scrapbooks each including effect layers, ground textures and terrains that can be reused anywhere in the route (unlike cloning you don't have to be close to the originals) and in different routes.

Ah, okay gotchu. Thanks so much! Appreciate it.

Ah, okay I see. Well, that's good too, maybe I will also try that out too. Thank you so much as well.

Another advantage, one of many, of using the Scrapbook over cloning is that the Scrapbook can also be painted with the brush tool. For example, after creating a scrapbook scene and setting its Palette filters you can go from this...

to this ...

in seconds with a just few brush strokes.
