BLUF: Add Duplicate Layout As-is (i.e. with custom sizing), to the Duplicate Layout top menu option.

Currently, one can duplicate the Layout, but must choose a size from ANSI, Architectural, or ISO options.  Most of my clients live in PowerPoint land so I need to be able to, quickly, export graphics into Microsoft products.  The process now works, just make a new layout and choose custom size, but since the "Duplicate Layout" option already exists, how about just a literal duplicate of the layout?

@WalkerKB and those following, just wanted to make sure you were aware of the Duplicate option for the layout item from Catalog

@WalkerKB  There is a ready-made Add-In from the Esri SDK community samples

I cannot attach .esriAddinX files here. So you'll have to download VB Studio, clone the github repository in VB, then run the DuplicateLayout.sln file to generate the file yourself.

Dear All,

I see the option in the catalog pane, Thank you for posting that.  Yes that gets the job done.  It just seems weird that you can do that in Catalog, but not in the Layout Top Pane Layout>Duplicate Layout.  Seems like it would just be easy add "Duplicate Layout" and not just ANSI, Architecture, or ISO size options.
