I don't understand - copy a group of objects in Sketch

I don't know how any of you can work this way.

 

I literally feel so overwhelmed by the simplest of tasks.

 

This isn't a joke.

 

All I want to do is copy a group of objects in Sketch.

 

And if this involves more than 2 simple steps I will stop using Fusion.

Hi,

Does this statement (#3) now belong to accepted usage in the forum.

 

If I do not get a response within 15 minutes I cannot guarantee my posts will remain profanity free.

You really seem to have a short fuse. Next month, save on the Fusion 360 subscription and look into anger management. As far as the copy and paste, select all the drawings that you would like to have copied, and just like in any word document or anywhere else, hit ctrl+C to copy while the sketch is still open and then ctrl+V to paste. Then it will overlay a sketch on top of the original sketch with arrows that will allow you to move the copied sketch wherever you would like. You could also do a rectangular pattern as opposed to the ctrl+C ctrl+V method but I haven't used that method as much so I can't give you much feedback on that, I can just tell you its there. The move command should have a "create copy" command at the very bottom of the selection box, as to why you aren't seeing it is very odd.

I have been asked to accept a solution.

 

First, I thoroughly overestimated the usefulness of Sketch as a 2D Cad tool.

 

Second, the training in Sketch is thoroughly inadequate.

 

I will be moving to Libre Cad as it is more suited to my needs.

 

I accept that.
