power-duplicate

[Polygonius]

How does this power-duplicate (make a copy with a shift of position / size... and all further copies will increased by this values) really work? 

If i first duplicate (with shortcut) and THEN move the copy it does not work. 

If i duplicate by holding ALT it works, but by holding ALT i never get this finetuned offset i want???? 

So how to "activate" or HOLD power-duplicate while using the arrow keys for filigran movements???

Copy object to the required distance, then CTRL + J (windows)

ctrl+j = standard copy (duplicate)??? It does not work for power-duplicate (PD = accumulate an offset to each copy) This PD works only if i BEFORE made a duplicate via ALT-mosue. Then ctrl/cmd+j made copys with the given offset, BUT the first ALT-mouse movement is not as precise i want. So how to make PD only by keys (cmd+j and the arrows????)

Works for me on Windows.

If you want precision, press Ctrl + J then use the Transform panel to move the duplicated object.

 

Can't get more precise than that

Aha, with the transform-box it works great (Booth: accumulated place-offset and size/angle-offset...)

Thank you guys.
