Duplicating….one of my new favorite features in Silhouette Studio Version 3.
I’m going to let the video speak for itself. After all, it’s only a minute long.
But, boy oh boy…what a minute!!!
Is that not one of the coolest things like ever?
Something so simple, but so awesome.
Wish Illustrator worked like that.
My favorite way to copy was to Ctrl and drag the item, but that no longer works and I was not a happy camper. This method IS awesome, Kerri, and I thank you for discovering and sharing.
Hey Patty! I always did Alt with the click+drag and that still works. You can do that in Illustrator too, so that’s what I’m used to using. And actually, I just tried the Cmd (ctrl) click and drag and it works for me. I’m on a Mac though. Maybe it’s a glitch for PCs? Or they fixed it in an update?
You can also do Ctrl or Alt Click and it will make a second copy right on top of the shape.
Hi Kerri,
You sound so happy in this video. You brought a smile to my face :D
Awesome, thanks for the tutorial!
Love this!!!
Cool. I will try it now. Thanks so much! That will make my life much easier.
Weird, I just tried it and it did nothing. Can’t imagine why not, such a fast way to work!
It may be a possibility it’s only available in the latest release that came out at end of May. There were a lot of fixes and enhancements made in that one. Your software won’t tell you there’s an update, but if you haven’t updated in the past month, then it try installing the latest.
I haven’t upgraded yet, and I tried this in my old version. It just nudged the shape one pixel at a time.
That’s a valuable move tool and I would hate to see it eliminated. Is there another way to nudge in the new version?
You mean besides just using the plain ol’ arrow key to move a shape?
Is that what you’re asking? I’ve just always used the arrow only, no key combo.
Works the same in both version 2 and 3.
It’s the Ctrl/Cmd-Arrow that has now changed between the two versions.
FYI, this works in the latest 3.0.531 that came out May 27 and not before. There is a glitch in the previous version in that it won’t tell you that you need to update. But you can download the latest from their website under the Support link: http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/software/silhouette-studio
Ah, it’s the little things that make us happy. I haven’t upgraded yet, but I truly appreciate those who have and keep us all informed.
You are so awesome to share things with us Kerri. Thanks
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you! This is awesome! I could have used it a few days ago, but I can’t remember what I was even doing! :) Thanks for all the awesome tricks, we appreciate it!
