I’ve created an object and added constraints to it, but when I duplicate it… the constraints do not copy along at the same time. Is there a way to do this?

Hi, there is currently no way to make the duplicate sketches have the constraints from the original sketch.

I figured out a way to kind of do this… it’s not exactly what I was looking for, but it does work. You can just export the sketch to a file on your iPad and reimport it, but you have to move the original object to a different location before importing cause it’ll be in the same position.

I guess for now I’m going to have to use the above method.

Will the option to copy constraints be possible at some point?
