Add Duplicate Button in Family Type Dialog

Add Duplicate Button in Family Type Dialog

 

hi

 

Most parameters are the same Properties in the Family Type Dialogue Box,And only the name is different.

 

I think Added a duplicate icon can help.

I'd really appreciate a duplicate tool, especially for parameter types besides length.  It's easy when you are creating a lot of parameters to miss changing the parameter type (+ removing the time needed to find the right one in the drop down list) and if you create a parameter with the wrong type you have to delete it and start over.  It would be a big time saver when making a lot of parameters that you want grouped elsewhere than their default location.

 

For example, I use the "Other" grouping for all length parameters controlled by formulas (since "other" sorts to the bottom of the  properties list).  Right now if I have 10 formula controlled length parameters I have to open each one, scroll through the list of groups to find other, and change the group.  Making one and duplicating it would be much faster, since you don't have to locate an item in a list.
