If i unselect all the boxes then it still copies all the underlying objects here. So the option 'no' doesn't exist nowadays if you click 'duplicate'. It just so happens that I was using this duplicate operation yesterday. Worked perfectly. Not sure why you are seeing a problem. :?: :?: Gene It's co...

How do i create this in 0.19? You can't. And that's good, because the display is biased. If you remove in 0.15 the source object, all of a sudden the subelements occur under the copy where thy couldn't be seen before. If you want to investigate the copy - which is no longer related to the source in...

As already mentioned just use Draft/Clone. It creates a parametric object that can also be scaled and attached.

It is workable - but it is not the same thing.

Chris, thanks for your kind thoughts! CAD is a visual environment. In 0.15 it is clear in 'part'. If i click edit then click duplicate then select NO and i see this: P1050703.JPG Fast, quick, intuivitvely. It is clear then that the objects didn't get copied here. We do not want to show fata morgana'...

So the option 'no' doesn't exist nowadays if you click 'duplicate'. I recently used that and it works as expected. Could you post an example file and the same file with your duplication so we could show you the selection to achieve the desired result? Sometime dependencies might look quite mixed up...

I design machines. 3d printers especially. So i need this like 100 times a day. are you somehow doing some sort of assemblies ? Did you try one of the available workbenches for that ? They didn't exist for v0.15 Yes this is how i do my assembly indeed. It is a very quick way to work like this and i...

Not a bug...that is the Draft workbench grid. use the G,R keyboard short cut to get rid if it. You can set preferences so it doesn't show when loading or entering the Draft workbench. Thanks! Much appreciated! Though not the same as the old 'no' option when duplicating in Part Mode - it is workable...

Taking care it doesn't copy all objects? (in short get the question whether you want to copy all or just have a pointer to it) did you try to create a link (App::Link) ? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/9cd18976d4316c1258f7319854e8b07e70661cda/src/Gui/Icons/Link.svg Yes i tried tha...

Just uncheck the ones you don't want. Yes, it probably takes one more second than clicking "No", but it does not seem like a big hardship. How often do you need to do this? Gene If i unselect all the boxes then it still copies all the underlying objects here. So the option 'no' doesn't ex...

I get this window as soon as select "Duplicate" Capture.JPG This is from version 0.20. I thought it was also in version 0.19 Gene This is correct - but whatever i tried there the old version 0.16 and before option (i could never run 0.17 here so i have no clue about that one), is the opti...
