Alright a few months ago when I started using Shapr I was able to duplicate a sketch and then when I would click it again it would keep the distance moved.

Trying to find that again. Don’t know if it was a bug or something I did that I can figure out again. Hoping someone knows.

While doing `Move`/`Rotate` select the little `[+]` button to make a copy while moving or rotating.

Hey, so it isn’t the copy that was the issues. It is previously when doing the copy multiple times there was a way to say repeat the last copy. Meaning if you copied and moved it 10mm it would do that again. I just don’t recall where it was when I stumbled on it.

It does not remember on subsequent copies. You just move it the distance you want the next copy to be done.
