In Sketchup I am able to right click a symbol and select "Make Unique" and it will copy that symbol with a new name and replace it in place. It would be great if Vectorworks had a feature like this.
As it is now I have to find the symbol in the Resource Manager, duplicate it, then select my symbol in the model and replace it with the new one.
Typically I will have a few instances of a symbol and will want to change one of them without changing the rest, but don't know yet if I will need to have other instances of the new symbol. Having a "Make Unique" feature would simplify this whole process. Pretty much the user would select their symbol in the model. Right click. Select "Make Unique", and VWX will duplicate the symbol in the Resource Browser with a new name and then replace the selected symbol with the new one.
