The ability to click on an item & duplicate it repeatedly with mouse-click insertion. Then Escape to exit the duplication. I can't remember which other program I've used this in. For instance, I had to place 57 pierblocks in a non-grid pattern. I had to hit 'duplicate' cmd for every one & re...

BAH, you're right. I just watched myself & don't use the apple key. DUH. sorry about that.

Also experiment with "snap range" in Preferences->Drawing. Mine got reset a few months ago and I was tearing my hair out. I don't use snap to grid, but the combo of snap range 5 & snap to intersections/end points meets most of my needs. Holding down shift while I draw is the big one to...

Can I vote twice for this one?

A shortcut for "change selected items to layer's color" would be helpful too.

Is there a way to tell HD "this stuff I just selected...save it as a symbol AND turn the selection into a symbol?" Hope that makes sense. Now, I create symbols from a selection, but have to delete the items I used to 'save as symbol' and insert the new symbol. It would be cool if HD could ...

brilliant, thank you!!

Is there a setting to automatically put a construction point at the center of circles/arcs? I need to draw radiuses in & have to randomly mouse over where I think the centerpoint is until I find it.

mac's Sticky notes do the window shade trick, if you want a reference that comes free with your OS Cast my vote on this one too.

I'd like to add my vote for this one!! I get leading zero on anything under one foot. I have to do custom text every time & it really slows me down.

NEVERMIND. Egads I can't read this morning. More coffee.

stupid question....

I forgot where the downloads live. Where do I find 1.8.1?

Andrew & Crew, thank you so much. I just used stretch to 'redesign' an entire set of garage plans with ONE command - awesome awesome awesome!!!!

Found the culprit!

My snap range in Prefs was set to one pixel - gah. Hooray for easy fixes!
