Make your desired shape (circle, quad, star, whatever), don't release the mouse button and now with the cursor keys, you can add rows and columns. The disadvantage of tis is if you want to draw a regular circle or square, you have to hold shift too. It means, you must use the right shift to reach your cursor keys, which is quite unusual. Also (and the guy in the video didn't mention it), if you hold the arrow keys (not just hit them), you can change the spacing of created objects.

Huge thanks.indeed if i want keep them square/circle (or other shapes similar way). even its bit painful i get it working

luckily i have shift also close arrow keys otherways is next impossible (at least my relative small hands) but even with then is painful. only bad thing when set distance is not easy get exact values same for shape size if i do such thing. but still helps some cases but not ones where size and distance needed exactly.
but these others can be done with power duplicate. somecases only what thing looks means something not numerical values.

this mouse release is my mistake you found it.

Wouldn't it be better to ask that in the iPad Questions section of the forums? It would be more likely to get relevant answers.

Indeed. Didn’t pay attention. Thanks

Hello guys, when I try to use the quick grid in my windows in AD1, it doesn't work, I press the arrow keys but it still doesn't work at all. I also don't release the left mouse button. Does anyone know a solution? Thankyou.

Quick Grids are a new function in V2. You won't find them in V1.

Quick grid is a version 2 feature, and not available in version 1.
