Sure,,,but it's not a fix to duplicate next to original,,,it's a work around, and good enough for me. Here it is;
Is there a better way to duplicate an object and excercise some control over its placement?
If you've tried using Flexi's Duplicate command (in the Edit menu), the placement of the duplicated object may seem haphazard. After you select Duplicate, the new object seems to appear at a random location. In fact, the new object appears the distance from the original that the original was last moved. For example, if you create a square, move it two inches to the right, then duplicate it, the copy appears two inches to the right of the original. Confused yet? Here's another way you can place the duplicate:
Select the object. On a Macintosh, hold the Option key as you move the object. On a PC, hold the Ctrl key as you move it. A copy is created, and can be placed by releasing your mouse.
