First, you select inside area, or select all, or in some other way select
what you want to copy. Then, you do a change, translate, and enter
the amount you want the copy to be offset from the original, and set
the incremental and make copy buttons, and you'll get an additional
copy of the part, moved over that much. Just keep doing that to
make as many copies as you need.
