Inserting multiple components at once

Hello

 

Is it possible to insert a component 15 times, without actually having to drag/insert it 15 times?
My example: I need this part "Rol" 15 times in my design, which takes a very long time doing it one by one.

Googling this hasn't given me any results.

Insert it only once from the data panel and then use copy/paste in the current design.

Still not a as fast as just an instance counter (please post that in the Idea Station and provide a link back to here !) but still much faster.

I ended up making one copy so I had two, then copying both of these as a group so I had four and so on.  Not great, but better than doing them one at a time.

You can also pattern them.

Hi

How can I insert Part a , b , c and d into the current design?
I don't want to drag them one by one, I will select them an now how do I proceed?

 

Thank you

there is no way to do that.  You can put them in a common sub-assembly and insert that, but Insert acts on only one component at a time.
