Duplicating Vertex Groups I have made a plane, and I have added one Vertex Group to it, and weight painted it as I desired. I then want another vertex group, but I want to duplicate the initial one, because I want the second vertex group to share the same weight paint as the first one, and I also want to add additional weight paint to the second vertex group. 

Is there a way to duplicate vertex groups on the same object ?
You can duplicate a vertex group from the drop down menu underneath the delete (-) button.
