Clone Objects Hotkey

[HaukeG]

Hello everyone,

When I am placing an object somewhere and rotate / move it around (with the three-axis - arrows), I can click somewhere to build this item at this position and create a new instance of this object at the same position. Then I can move this new instance next to the other one and can click again somewhere to create the third instance (and so on).

This is really nice and really fast. But how can I do this if I clone / duplicate an object (CTRL + D)? I can position this copied object but how can I create a new instance of this object on the fly? Or do I need to select this item from the menu again, arrange the position and color again?

Is there a hotkey for this function? Also is there a hotkey for the first function I discribed?

Thanks,
Hauke

I think the best answer to this entire post is CTRL+ X. That hotkey duplicates the item and automatically has it in advanced movement.
Though I don't believe the CTRL+X hotkey will work if there are any items in your selection that can only be moved in 90 degree angles. It might just duplicate it like CTRL+D does.

Apologies if this isn't what you're after, it's late at night and I'm tired haha

If you need Hotkeys, you can activate the tutorials - there you can see the hotkey for every action you can do.

But like Anth08 wrote: "CTRL+X" seems to be the hotkey, you are searching for.
