    Hi everyone.
    I have a very annoying problem with SU and the worst is that I seem to be the only one in the world with it:

    It turns out that the SU stock command for multiple array copies (Ctrl+Move then x+ numb of copies) seems to have got screwed up after I installed some other plugin -which I don't recall now, but uninstalled then, without any results- and I've been miserable since then

    For example, If I try to make an array (linear or radial) of anything, lets say a component or group...a simple box, instead of getting the desired result, what I get is a single copy of the object, exploded and set to some wrong random distance. Happens every time and It's so annoying... and actually slows down my modelling workflow and productivity.

    I know that a very obvious answer would be "reinstall" but perhaps somedy could come up with any other solution....PLEASE HEEEELP

    Thanks.

      maybe you have your explode keystroke set to 'X' ? (or something)..

      anyway.. try entering 12x instead of x12 (the amount first followed by x instead of the way you described your method

      [for instance.. my x-ray keystroke is X.. if i try entering x10 as an array amount, my view switches to xray mode and a single copy moves 10 units.. 😉 ]

        • works also.

        If it's not shortcuts interfering, it could be some plugin...

          It does indeed sound like X has been set as a keyboard shortcut for Explode.

            yeah.. and that exact example (having X for explode) can cause increased confusion because..

            if you try to move non-grouped geometry then x10 will work as an array.. but if it's grouped, x10 will explode it instead..

                So when you hit Ctrl after getting the Rotate tool, do you get a little + next to the cursor?
