Apps: All Platforms: macOS and Windows There were a few requests from the previous beta we have now implemented in 2.3. As a reminder the move data entry dialog is initiated by hitting Return while in the Move, Shape, Picture Frame or Artboard Tool. 1. You can now choose duplicates to be created in front or behind the original using the new Insertion mode options 2. Scale has now been added, to quickly resize an object by a given % 3. Properties of the object being transformed can be adjusted without dismissing the dialog The scale %, when creating duplicates, will also apply to every subsequent duplicate - a very simple example shown below with 10 copies of the same circle being created, each one at 80% the size of the previous. You can of course combine that with other transforms, such as below a square being rotated and shrunk on each duplicate. As mentioned you can also now adjust the properties of the object being transformed without dismissing the dialog. E.g. below I have changed the colour of the shape as well as changing stroke width to “scale with object” while keeping the current move data entry settings live. Another minor thing to mention is we have also changed the ramp on the ‘Number of copies’ slider to make it more useable at lower values (i.e. the first half of the slider now just goes from 1-50, with the remaining half from 50-1000).
