zoomer Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 To refresh, I wish the Move by Points Tool (MBP) would get some improvements : 1. Please make the MBP to ignore the "Number of Duplicates" value when "retain original" is set to OFF or set it virtually to "always 1" in move only mode, to avoid any accidental copies when Moving or the need for the user to always check these settings before using the Tool. 2. Please add a Continuous Mode Option that, after first cycle of 1st click to define origin + 2nd click to define traget position, to instantly place a new Copy (or Movement) with each further click, without the need to redefine an origin after each cycle again. To allow easier multiple distribution of elements in one go. 3. Please add an Option to use MBP with a fixed or locked distance value. (Same for Push Pull Tool) 4. Offer the last distance (X,Y or Z) as a potential (master) snapping point to repeat copy operations when "Number of Duplicates" is 1. (Similar to CMD+D) 5. Add a live Preview 1 Quote Link to comment

0 martinfdc Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Hi, Would be great to have a preview of the MOVE BY POINTS tool before one actually finished the order, similar to the preview one gets with the rotate tool. I leave an example of the preview one gets with the rotate tool: Edited December 7, 2017 by martinfdc Quote Link to comment

Question
zoomer
To refresh,
I wish the Move by Points Tool (MBP) would get some improvements :
1.
Please make the MBP to ignore the "Number of Duplicates" value when
"retain original" is set to OFF or set it virtually to "always 1" in move only mode,
to avoid any accidental copies when Moving or the need for the user to
always check these settings before using the Tool.
2.
Please add a Continuous Mode Option that,
after first cycle of 1st click to define origin + 2nd click to define traget position,
to instantly place a new Copy (or Movement) with each further click,
without the need to redefine an origin after each cycle again.
To allow easier multiple distribution of elements in one go.
3.
Please add an Option to use MBP with a fixed or locked distance value.
(Same for Push Pull Tool)
4.
Offer the last distance (X,Y or Z) as a potential (master) snapping point to
repeat copy operations when "Number of Duplicates" is 1.
(Similar to CMD+D)
5.
