Not so obvious at first, but move by points tool can do this. I believe question was, to have same behaviour like in classic CAD where You copy and place new copy with every new click. In fact with move by points tool, it is almost as easy in ACAD....not the same, but almost 😄 1) Select Move by points tool and set it like this: 2) Select object (or have it selected before activating tool) 3) Click reference point 4) Now when placing duplicate ...just click twice*** (it makes duplicate and pick reference point again) ***keep in mind to not make fast "double click" just have a little bit more time before second click, because classic fast double click end Move by points tool Hope it helps guys 😉

Hey Zoomer, thanks for answering. I will explain more... STANDARD default windows/doors classes behaviour: when creating they are placed on active class, some parts are placed in special classes based on PIO setting - no problem here MY PLANNED WORKFLOW: I set window or door setting as I need, then set my classes for all possible parts of this object (none is left with <window class> default). Save this as style for window object. Now every part of window has its class which it should go to. I assumed that I do not have to worry about active class when inserting this object and it will go to classes specified in setting (or create them, if do not exist). Do I get this right? Today I tried this approach, but then when I inserted this object into wall, it was created in class which was the wall itself. Active class was different and all the PIO setting classes was different 😆 I don't get it 🤨 The window should not be in the walls class at all. It was not active, neither one of PIO settings classes... Then I found out that other object went to this stubborn (wall) class as well, even if it was not inserted into wall at all. I have to try in different and empty file to know if it was not only some bug related to file itself. Or maybe I am still missing some part of this whole VW classes, PIOs settings workflow 😄

Hi Alexandra, did You find the reason? I came across the same problem today. Assigned all window style components to my class I want them to be, so I do not need to think, which actual class I have active when inserting them. But they always take over the class of wall in which I insert them. Weird behavior indeed. Standard library windows still works fine 😮

Guys I think that I have solution to this :-) When I was importing reference DWG file in VW, I have to choose units of source file. Mine was survey file in meters. Then confirmed import and VW automatically created Layer with imported geometry. But this layer had huuuge scale 1:50000. Seems to be due metres to milimetres conversion. When I edit the layers scale to 1:50, all clipping issue is gone :-) I can even reproduce this problem again when one layer with objects gets bigger scale, display issues is back. Then give it normal scale and all is good again. It also makes sense why it is only present in some of the files, because it is layer setting in this file. So - check Your layers scales if there are some with huuuge scale compared to rest of layers and make it smaller. Hope Your issue is the same and this solves it ;-)
