creating multiple copies in one click

Shamoon Jamshed · March 10, 2016, 19:56

Dear Fellows,

I have a bunch of collector (about 100) and I need to repeat them linearly. Is it possible that I use the command of copy and select one connector and specify somewhere "the number of copies" so that a handful of my time must save.

Regards,

Currently, you can create a single copy at at time. Writing a script will enable you to create as many copies at once as you'd like. Take a look at https://github.com/pointwise/ArrayCopyRotate

I am not an expert in glyphs, it would be good if I get one in translation too.

Shamoon,

We put together a great webcast for getting started with Glyph scripting, http://www.pointwise.com/videos/Intro-to-Scripting/.

since you only need 100, you can do it quickly by hand:

1) select the one connector
2) Copy (Ctrl-C) and Paste (Ctrl-V)
3) Translate
4) Select the 2 (4, 8, 16, 32) connectors and goto step 2

5) When you have 64 connectors, only select the last 36
6) Copy (Ctrl-C) and Paste (Ctrl-V)
7) Translate

This is only 6 copy/paste/translate loops!
