Duplicate keyboard shortcut for Move/Copy body command

Duplicate keyboard shortcut for Move/Copy body command

In certain graphic design software, and other 3d modelling packages, there is a duploicate keyboard shortcut (usually CTRL+D on Windows, Command+D on Mac). Typically, it simply duplicates an item in place. However, if the duplicate shortcut is used immediately after a copy/move command, it repeats the move/copy as a pattern, incrementing the position of each subsequent body the amount of the original move, in the same direction (and with the same rotation).

Could be useful in some scenarios. I noticed users on a Facebook group looking for this functionality.

The original feature mentioned is in Tinkercad.
If you use ctrl-D ( duplicate ) then it makes an exact copy of the selected part in the exact same location.

You can then move the duplicated part on any axis and any rotation.
As long as you do not deselect the part, every ctrl-D causes a duplicate of the latest created part, and it moves the same sequence as before.

hope this helps.
