I'd like to know if there is a way to duplicate an object without losing the links to that object.
Let me explain:
I have a Cube and a Torus that use some parameter from the cube I need a new cube but instead of creating a new default cube I want to duplicate the existing one to use the same starting parameters.
No matter what tool I use (I tried Duplicate selection, Copy/Paste, Clone), the creation of the new Cube causes the Torus to point to the new object.
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I think it's very annoying not to be able to reuse parameters from existing objects (alternatively a "copy properties" command would be very useful).
Thanks for the help,
Marco
