Add Xyicons by Cloning

Both Copy and Copy to Stamp methods help you speed up creating xyicons by cloning existing xyicons and their information.

7. Repeat step 3 as often as you need to make multiple copies.
8. When you are done copying your xyicons, press the Esc key on your keyboard to exit the stamp mode.
