Duplicate shortcut (but not exponential?)

[freekdv]

English isn't my first language so i'm struggling finding words to explain what i'm searching for.

I want to duplicate the same centred object multiple times (cmnd + j) but keep the same distance between them. 

Like this:

Not sure if that is what you want, but it should work usually ...

Thank you

But how did you do that? manually or with cmnd+J?

If I want to become this resultI:

1. select my object

2. cmnd c + cmnd v to copy it

3. increase the width and height manually in Transform window (with anchor point centred)

4. repeat

 

If I do it with cmnd + j, the distance between te objects increase exponentially.

Just now, >|< said:

Affinity "power duplicate" (cmd+j) has no option to scale in an arithmetic progression.

Oh OK, Thank you for the reply and for the word i was searching for  

So, this is the best way to do it?:

1. select my object

2. cmnd c + cmnd v to copy it

3. increase the width and height manually in Transform window (with anchor point centred)

4. repeat

See:

• power-duplicate

• Duplicate or Copy change the empty space distance btw. the lines - WHY ?

• ... etc. ...

Above I just duplicated and then scaled the objects afterwards proportional.
