copy multiple objects

Is there a way to allow Inventor 2013 to copy multiple objects when executing the 'copy' command ? Similar to in AutoCAD where you can continue to copy objects in multiple instances instead of it terminated after a single copy ? Thanks

You haven't really given us enough information to be helpful, although John's reply might be exactly what you need.  The answer will be different depending on what the objects are that you are trying to copy.  Are you trying to copy components in an assembly?  Sketch elements in a part sketch?  Views in a drawing?

Thank you for your response. To clarify, I am copying components in an assembly using the simple 'copy' command from the drop down menu which is available when right click on the component to copy, thanks
