Multiple Copy Alt Behavior Not Working...or Is It?

[MrDaveAres]

When I attempt to use secondary spacing for the "Multiple Copy" edit tool, I thought all I needed to do was set the secondary spacing to my desired value and click and drag with the right (alternate) mouse key. The result was only the primary spacing.  I tried again by holding down the ALT key on me keyboard and I even changed to ALT edit mode on the File Menu.  All I get is the primary spacing.  I changed all secondary values for all objects just to make sure the software was not misrecognizing my framing member.  I remember having the same issue with X6.  Does anyone else have this problem or, for that matter, use Secondary Spacing on the Multiple Copy?

Follow these steps:

1. right click, hold and drag; release

2. move the mouse in the opposite direction (no mouse button held); at the end left click

The alternate behavior provides a grid copy. (2D array of objects.)

 

The secondary spacing applies to the spacing when you drag out perpendicular to the first row of objects you created.
