SymmetryWorks 4 greatly expands what you can do with replicas.
EditByBSEditor: SymmetryWorks 4 greatly expands what you can do with replicas, one of the handiest and most powerful features of the plug-in. Replicas (live copies) are tremendously useful for creating all kinds of patterns.

You work with a replica through its handle, which is a simple bounding Box that you can MOVE, scale, rotate, and mirror. The plug-in remembers your transformation and automatically rebuilds a copy of the original art once you edit it. By adding replica copies, you can make your pattern as symmetric鈥攐r asymmetric鈥攁s you like. And you will still have only one original that needs to be edited when you are making changes.

In SymmetryWorks 4, you can Create replicas of selected elements. This simple feature is really the workhorse of the new version and it will change the way you design your patterns.

The other major addition is the automatic generation of multiple replica copies (multi-replicas). You can now create a replica and then instantly spawn copies that will be arranged according to your recipe.
