kylejmarsh 18 Posted April 10, 2016 Been looking around and can't find a way to enable option-copy dragging. Not to get confusing on the language - but in many other programs you can copy an existing element simply by holding/pushing option while you're moving it. Want to copy something? Just start dragging it with the move handle, hit option, and a copy is made. Am I missing some setting where this can be enabled? OR is this a feature request?

justmejerry 45 Posted April 11, 2016 Just curious here...are you just using this to copy on a one time basis or is it to drop multiple copies? What happens when you let go of drag handle once copy is made? Does the item snap back to it's origin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny 458 Posted April 11, 2016 Or....... select object, Copy and then drag. and if you click the "tack" icon you can keep making copies based upon your drag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northriver 31 Posted April 11, 2016 Have you tried the transform replicate tool? It lets you make copies and precisely locate the copies in the XY direction as well as in a radial pattern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe_Carrick 2325 Posted April 11, 2016 Another option is the "Multi-Copy" tool. That allows you to copy at an interval by dragging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
