Continuous copy plugin? (not array)
-
How can I keep copying things with only a left click without hitting Ctrl and a click for origin? I don't want to array things or spray a component, merely place the same by hand here and there with a single left click.
This sounds very basic but until now I could not find the right plugin. Maybe you guys could point me in the right direction.
Thanks, LEGOsketcher

Hi LEGOsketcher,
Probably Didier Bur's Component Spray Tool is what you are after. It is way more powerful than what you need but can also do that.
He also supplies a great PDF manual for the tool - please, don't miss to read it!

Hi Gaieus,
yes I use this great plugin when randomly placing components. But sometimes you just want to place a component manually with eye measure. I simply find it annyoing to use extra clicks when copying. Wouldn't it be much easier when SU would stay in copy mode, meaning that the last copied element would still be active, with the same origin and then you only left click to place it again and again?
A good example is the "left click reverse face" ruby, saves a lot of time & clicks. I was imagining there would be something similar for easy copying.

Hi LegoSketcher, Didier's componennt spray tool also works how you're requesting. In the dialogue, change the spray shape to "point". And only list 1 component to spray. Then each click will place a single instance of that component where ever you click. Its a great tool, have fun!
