[solved] Multiple paste

Post by David Des » Mon Mar 02, 2020 4:21 pm

Is there a way to paste an object to multiple locations around a drawing, as in using "ctrl, v", but pasting with a reference point instead of the center of an object?

When copying, use "Edit > Copy with Reference" (Ctrl-Shift-C), the choose the reference point. This point will be used as reference when inserting.

When pasting, you can indeed paste more than once at multiple locations. Simply click the coordinates one by one or enter coordinates.
