Copy sketch element as user defined variant.
Mark all required sketch elements (multi selection with pressed Ctrl key). (Alternatively: frame elements with pressed Shift key.)

--> The dialog box Change parameter is opened.
In the example in hand the selected element is copied three times. Each iteration step will shift the copy with 20 in direction of X axis and rotate through an angle of 30°.
Adjust the setting as desired:
Iteration step: Value of progress between two iteration steps
Displacement (dx): Displacement in the direction of X axis per iteration step
Displacement (dy): Displacement in the direction of Y axis per iteration step
Insertion angle: Rotation of selected element (selected group) through an angle per iteration step
--> The copies of the element are placed according to the settings.
