litesauce Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 This may just be me.... but is it possible to get a COPY tool as a separate tool from the MOVE tool. It seems quite innefficient to have a shortcut for the move tool only to have to then mouse click between copy or move. If someone wants to point out I am doing it wrong please do. thanks Quote Link to comment

Especially as long the MBP Tool in Move only Mode is not able to ignore potential Copy Numbers other than 1. Quote Link to comment

I think this should be classified as a bug even if it is working as designed, as the usefulness of this would be very rare if not virtually nil. The default in move mode should be to ignore the copy number, or made an option in the preferences to ignore it or not. (Though it does allow for some nice copy effects in the way it currently works). Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I don't get upset by that or other Tools anymore I can now use such Tools in the way I would expect and even beyond, at any time. At least MBP is better than without MBP. Quote Link to comment
0 Steve Kelly Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I love vectorworks but the lack of separate move and copy drives me nuts!!! Try this add on http://www.vectordepot.com/older_plug-ins.html Unfortunately no icon appears on the toolbar after installation so if anyone knows how to add a graphic to a blank toolbar............ (easy to do in autocad!) Quote Link to comment
