Re: Option Drag FYI

2014-10-27 Thread Colin Holgate
I think it depends on how you work with groups. If you use Edit Group to go in 
and edit a group, copy and paste acts the same as option-drag. If you prefer to 
directly select objects inside a group, without actually going into the group, 
then copy and paste acts differently, because you’re at the card level at the 
time.

Right, I wasn't in group edit mode at the time I tried all the different
options.

I wasn't complaining, I think it's great there's a way to make a copy of an
object without going into group edit mode.  Would be even nicer if there
was a Paste into group command.

There is. :) Be sure selectGroupedControls is false so that you can 
click a group to select it. Copy a control. Right-click on the target 
group with the edit tool and the contextual menu has Paste into group 
available.

Nice! Thank you.  I've only ever looked on the Edit menu before.
