Eddy-2 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I often use Select + Ctrl to duplicate an item. I'm finding that if use Select + Alt with the intention of ignoring snapping, I'm also getting a duplicate. A bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceom Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Are you using right alt? alt right is ctrl+alt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy-2 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 A quick answer because I'm just on my way out. Select using the left mouse button. Press and hold the Alt key. Drag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ctrl key has the advantage that you can choose (by releasing the key) between copy and move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy-2 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thanks Michail. It's no great problem, just something I've not noticed before. The following sequence creates a duplicate: Select > Alt > drag. The following sequence doesn't (but does ignore snapping): Select > Drag > Alt.

Staff Sean P Posted March 17, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 17, 2020 Hi Eddy, This is By Design - holding Alt prior to a drag will allow you to duplicate an object. Eddy-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
