VWUser2335 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The "Move by Points" tool introduced in VW2008 is one of the most useful recent additions to the program. Is there a shortcut to toggling on and off retaining the original object? Clicking into the "Move by Points Preferences..." and checking or un-checking the box is cumbersome and slows down my drafting. Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Set the Preferences so the Retain option is unchecked. When you want to create a moved copy hold the Option key down before you start moving the object. Quote Link to comment
VWUser2335 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Awesome! It never even occurred to me to try that for "move by points." Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Does this only work on v2009? For me on v2008, holding down the option key does not make a copy with the 'Move by Points' tool. Tim Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Tim unfortunately it doesn't work in Vw 2008 SP3. Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Oh well- thanks for the tip anyways Mike. Tim Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 It USED to work in 2008 but then they "fixed" it with SP3. Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 It does work in Vw 2009 though. Quote Link to comment
