Copy-paste existing whiteboard elements — the MCP equivalent of selecting a group and pressing Ctrl/Cmd+D. Clones the given elements (plus their group peers + bound text/labels) with FRESH ids, offsets the copy by dx/dy, and by default groups it into ONE new unit so it moves together. Use it to build something once (a labelled stencil frame, a kanban card, a UML class) then stamp out consistent repeats fast — then retext/recolour each copy by its new id (via the returned idMap) with updateWhiteboardScene. Pass groupId to copy a whole group as a unit (e.g. a placed stencil's groupId from its placement result) and/or ids for specific elements. Internal references (group membership, bound text containerId, arrow start/end bindings) are remapped within the copied set; a binding to an element you did NOT copy is dropped. Returns { duplicated, idMap (old id → new id), groupId (the copy's new unit group), elementCount }. Render with getWhiteboardImage afterwards to verify.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| documentId | string | yes | The whiteboard's documentId. |
| ids | array | no | Element ids to copy. Each id's full group + any bound text are auto-included. Use this and/or groupId. |
| groupId | string | no | Copy EVERY element in this group as one unit — e.g. a placed stencil's `groupId` returned by addWhiteboardElements. |
| dx | number | no | Horizontal offset for the copy (default 40). Use the element width + a gap to place copies side by side. |
| dy | number | no | Vertical offset for the copy (default 40). |
| group | boolean | no | Group the copy into one new unit so it moves/duplicates together (default true). |
| includeGroupPeers | boolean | no | Auto-include the full group of any id you pass (default true). |
