Move/Copy - Create Copy Checkbox PLEASE CHANGE FEATURE

This is regarding the little Check Box to "Create Copy" in the Move/Copy command.  Whenever you select a different move type this box will become unchecked.  

 

I've been professionally using Fusion for 5 years now, and this behavior has been an annoyance for me since day 1.  I am constantly having to go back and remove moves and recheck this box, the behavior of this feature is highly backwards and unintuitive.

 

It's been thousands of times now where I've used this tool to create a copy, and the intuitive first step is ALWAYS to check the box to "create copy" - because creating a copy is why I opened up the dialogue box.  But then I realize that the move type currently active isn't exactly what I want to use, so I change the type and then begin to move the object only to find that instead of creating a copy the object is now just moving. But you can't just recheck the box - NO. You need to move the object back to its start point - or uncheck the point to point selection - and then RECHECK THE CREATE COPY BOX THAT YOU NEVER WANTED UNCHECKED IN THE FIRST PLACE. 

 

Please reprogram this feature so the "Create Copy" box doesn't become unchecked until you exit the command - or at the very least complete one full move/copy command.  

 

Please allow this to be toggled on and off during the middle of your first move.

 

The current functionality just defies all logic of operations.

@Garret_H 

Thanks for reporting the issue.  Yeah, this is a pretty obvious defect and we need to fix it.  I understand the frustration when you have to deal with this issue.  I have created an internal defect for this and hopefully we can address this soon (FUS-171332)
