duplication and moving on an x or y axis

[gabagoo]

How o you duplicate a graphic in Flexi and move it on the y or x axis with the mouse. I use Flexi generally for printing so my setups are generally done in Signlab.

I meant more like the keyboard shortcut to duplicate and then can I hold down a keyboard key to move the graphic on the x or y axis?

It's a bit tricky but no big deal when you're used to the sequence.

1. Click on object to select.

2. While holding the click, press Control and begin the move. Control causes the object to be duplicated.

3. While continuing to hold down the Control key, press the Shift key. This will cause the object to snap to the nearest axis to the original object.

4. Complete the move and release all keys and mouse cursor.

welcome to the forum. I think if you want an answer to that question you better post it as a new thread as this thread is dealing with a different issue and people may bypass it good luck.
