      Hi!

      Once upon a time I used duplicating feature with manual input: e.g. - copying 20 objects along line with spacing 1500 mm. In this case input looks like that: 1500 x20
      But now it doesn't work((( What Im doing wrong?

      Thanks!

        Hi Starlex, hi folks.

        Use this procedure:

        1 - Select object to be duplicated.

        2 - Select the Move Tool.

        3 - Press and release the CTRL key on PC or the CMD key on Mac to toggle copying mode on.

        3 - Grab selected object and begin the move.

        4 - Type 1500 in the Measurement Window (don't click or tab in it, just type).

        5 - Press the RETURN key or the ENTER key to validate the input. A first copy shall appear at the correct distance.

        6 - Type 20x or x20 or 20 or 20 in the Dimension Window to specify the number of copies.

        7 - Press the RETURN key or the ENTER key to validate the input. The 19 additional copies shall appear, alla of them spaced 1500 mm from the previous one.

        BTW, this is all in the help.

        Just ideas.
