Dear Inkscapers,
As the tutorial says.... duplicating is one of the most common operations. In illustrator, I had the habit of doing the following which turned out to be quite useful: select something, then alt-drag it... it'll be duplicating.
Actually several other places with a duplication "modes" exist. For example all transformations have a "copy" checkbox...
That's particularly nifty when combined with Illustrator's "repeat last command". For example one can easily rotate by 45 degrees with copy, then request repeat-last-command 6 more times to get the objects spread around in all 8th of the circle... Making a horizontal sequence of strokes is another example.
How does it sound ?
