Xzenor Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 In designer, when you duplicate something (ctrl J) and then move it a bit. Then CTRL J again, then that duplicated version is also moved a bit. That move action is duplicated as well. How can I (temporarily) disable that behavior? It can be pretty annoying when doing a lot of duplicating to place stuff randomly and often having to zoom out because the duplicat ended up outside of the canvas.

Why didn't I think of this? Thanks. Very helpful. I feel a bit stupid now but I'll get over that.

After pressing Esc, it is of course necessary to select the duplicated object again, so that it is clear what is to be duplicated, but I take it for granted. walt.farrell and Xzenor 1 1 Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.4.0.2301 Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.3155.
