Multiple Copy

I hate to bring this to the forefront again, but I'm hoping if I do someone will fix the problem.Copy an item (with multiple copy option), hold down shift, item goes straight for ONE COPY. After that, F8 doesn't help and additional items will not copy in a straight line.This is a problem that has existed a VERY long time and were told it was going to be remedied in a later version. Well, it's been a LOT of later versions and the problem still exists.Where is this on the bug tracker list guys?Can't it get fixed?Mike!

  • HiTryng to understand your post, this is what i discoveri start copy with ortho mode ON, then when using shift key, this action while allows me to continue copying , it overrides the ortho modebut if i start the copy multiple with ortho mode OFF, the shift key doenst affects the ortho mode, allowing me to copy as neededAR

  • I could not reproduce the scenario you describe in ver. 6.2.0024. In the Readme.htm I could not found the problem was fixed though.

  • To reproduce problem. . 1. Ortho Mode OFF2. Create an object (a recatangle will do)3. Copy (multiple)4. Click object, hold down shift5. FIRST object copies along line6. NEXT (and succesive objects) do NOT hold to line(even with SHIFT KEY held down) as they should.This problem DOES exist in 6.0.0024. . .just did it.Thanks!Mike!

  • OK, just did what you described and I could reproduce the error, but only if Polar Tracking is on. If you switch off polar tracking, all copies are placed in a straight line. The same error occurs if Ortho and Polar Tracking are both on.

  • With polar tracking I can copy horisontally AND vertically from the last obejct. I think thats work fine.

  • This bug is still at version V7, nothing repaired.Problem is with using Multiply copy with ortho and esnap.You have to use esnap to see this bug.Try for example this... 1. Create any line 2. Create any circle 3. Switch Ortho Mode ON 4. Switch ESNAP Mode ON (with endpoint)5. Command COPY 6. Select circle and choose Multiple option7. Base point = any point 6. Displacement point = endpoint of line7. ORTHO mode is switched to OFF and collapsed From this moment is not possible to switch ON (with F8 or Shift key)This error was reported a six month ago and still alive !!!Dear at Bricscad, repair this bug a.s.a.p., please.Thank youVladimir Urbanec

  • I use the following lisp routine to do this and ortho works fine with it. (DEFUN C:CM (/ COPYSETA);copy multiple. (SETQ COPYSETA (SSGET));select items using window. (COMMAND "COPY" COPYSETA "" "MULTIPLE" PAUSE))

  • Cheryl, try your function with ESNAP Mode ON (with f.e. endpoint). After selection one copy with esnap, ortho mode will collapsed.Vladimir

  • Meanwhile this problem has been fixed in our source code. A build containing the fix will become available in the coming weeks.Best regards,Hans De Backer
