Use the keyboard shortcut, Alt+drag (Windows) or Option+drag (Mac OS) to copy the object. To constrain the
movement in perspective, press Shift+drag. To specify a precise location where you need to move the object during
perpendicular movement, see

You can also use the Transform Again command (Object > Transform > Transform Again) or the keyboard shortcut
