Repeating same absolute value

[Angelos58]

I can’t finding a way to use power duplicate or copy and paste for duplicate the same value. For example ten concentric circle at same distance between them or ten lines at the same distance between them and so on. 

I hope that Serif didn’t forget a so elementary feature.

The lines power duplicate worked ok for me but I’m shocked about the concentric rings not working, very clearly a bug.

Paul you are right. The line works.

the circle doesn’t. But I think is not a bu, only a missing feature. Would be very useful could choose between “fix value” and “proportional value”

If it's any conciliation this works the same weird way on the desktop version so perhaps it's not a bug.

Yes, it would. This has been widely discussed elsewhere on these forums.

It’s not weird, it’s just prescriptive! If you set the diameter of the first circle to 50 px, duplicate it and set the width and height of the second circle to 60 px, the app works out that you’re scaling by a factor of 120%, so it applies the same scale factor to subsequent duplicates. If the second circle is resized with the expression “+=10”, the intelligent way to handle it would be to add 10 to the width and height values for subsequent duplicates, but instead the app uses the result of the calculation and does the same as if you had typed that result directly.

Alfred you are precious! But where is equal sign?

Sorry, I was thinking of the desktop app, where you can type expressions into the input boxes. On iPad you just type +10 after the 50 (or whatever).
