AutoCAD 2011 has a great feature call Add Selected. Just right-click on anything and pick Add Selected from the ensuing cursor menu and you will be creating another object the same as the one you clicked on. If it is a block, you will be inserting the exact same block in the same layer. You will be asked for the insertion point, X and Y scale factors.
If it was a line or pline you clicked, you will be asked for the Start Point for the new line/pline and then asked for the next point(s). The new line/pline will be drawn in the same layer and linetype and color as the original.
Text will match the style, layer, font, obliquing, etc of the exisitng text and you will be asked for the start point and rotation angle.
