Indesign Duplicate Object By Offset

Hello All,

I am having troubled getting an InDesign object to duplicate with an offset.

The InDesign library reference for Duplicate:
duplicate‚v : Duplicate an object
duplicate reference
[to location reference] : The new location of the object
→ reference : The duplicated object(s)

I have tryed this but it does not work:
Open this Scriplet in your Editor:
tell application “Adobe InDesign CS2”
activate
duplicate selection to {.5, .5}
end tell
I tried serching here and Google for an answer with no luck.
Any information on how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Try to duplicate then move.
This is how you had to do it via javascript in CS1
Here is an example:

herrmueller,

Thanks… That worked! I came up with a similar work around, but your suggestion is a lot simpler.

Thanks,
