Duplicating focus points as an array


Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

Maybe a silly question here...

I'm trying to speed up the creation of multiple focus points. "Duplicate As Array" does exactly what I want, but then I've got to go through and rename each focus point one at a time.

I'm wondering if there's a way to have the name of each object increment by one during duplication (or some other way). So, for example, if I create "focuspoint_01", ideally I would duplicate or rename it so that each new focus point was named "focuspoint_02", "focuspoint_03" and so on.

Where this really kicked my butt this week was on a plot which required a pinspot on each of 50 banquet tables, arranged in a grid. Laying out the focus points was easy, but it's a serious PITA to go through renaming and assigning each one on its own.

Is there a better method here that I haven't learned yet?

Much appreciated!
