postmadesign Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 absolutely agree on this. This is one of the most powerful features of illustrator. It would give more control over the actions I want to duplicate: how many copies, exact degree of rotation, exact distance. Also would be great to be able to scale and/or rotate each instance by a specific percentage. A random option like AI offers would also be welcome.
MickRose Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 A grid step & repeat would be very useful too. Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM
firstdefence Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 Liking the idea's people, a colour shift would also be cool, like a hue setting, tint setting or based on a palette maybe. Definitely a preset option. iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Very cool, but I agree a panel would be a welcome addition, and the features mentioned here would be terrific. Windows 11 Pro, XP-Pen Deco 03, AP, AD & APub
Frank Jonen Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Absolutely. The current approach is extremely imprecise. It needs a way to control the offsets properly. I was hoping this would come with the clone/step&repeat tool though.
