Many thanks!
This is a very valuable addition.
Converning the array feature, it feels a bit inconsitent as it is because one can set in the options the number of rows and colums, but not also the distance between the elements. Could the dialog therefore have:
* two edits, one for the vertical, one for the horizontal distance
* an option that is by default off named "specify distance by dimension". When this is enabled, the user can enter the dimensions directly in the dialog.
* when the user uses the equal constraint option, only one edit could be filled when the new specify option is set
This would speed up the usage for many cases. Sometimes I have a reference point in the sketch and thus the current behavior is fine, but often I don't have a reference point, I only know that I need e.g. a 23 x 15 mm array. At the moment I have to create the array and then later change the dimensions to what I need. That costs some time since sometimes the initial array overlaps other elements and then it is hard to see where I must change the dimension.

Only dimensionals are crosslinked between copies. In your case, you are not copying the slot that has the radius, but one that has equality constraints with an element outside the selection. The "promise" of the clone refers to selected geometry only.
But can we not change the behavior to this:
- when the Clone option is set, the selected element is created as it is and after the creation it is checked what constraints are missing
- if there are missing constraints, they will be taken from the master element
So in my example, the radius of the corners is missing in the clones. At the moment I have to manually select them and making them equal to the ones of the master. I think this action could be automatized since the option "Clone" makes clear that the users wants a real clone. So also the edge radius must then be the same as for the master.
Concerning the "Clone" option, I would like to describe it properly, but don't know all details about its limitations. Could you please write something about its limitations:

Or write them here that I can update the Wiki page?

Such is also the case of the point on object with the construction line. This construction line is not part of the selection.
OK, I understand there cannot be done anything.
