# Atom Copy

- Copies
- Shift

Indicate here the number of atom copies to create and its destination.

### Number

This is the requested number of copies, which is necessarily an integer, not smaller than 1 (the default).

### Layer

Gamgi expects users to identify first the atom or list of atoms to copy. When the Atom entry is active and empty, clicking the mouse over an atom, on the current layer (local selection), its identification is transported to the Atom entry.

Gamgi is now expecting users to identify a layer to where the atoms should be copied. Pressing the mouse over the graphic area in any window (global selection), creates a menu with all the layers in that window, which can then be selected. Initially, the identification of the current layer is entered in the Layer entry.
