Cloning items and descendants
 

Is there a quick way to clone an item as well as all its descendants without having to then re-parent items afterwards?

ie.

Box(1)
|____ball(1)
|_____spring(1)


is there a way to clone all of the above, so that I can then also have this...


Box(2)
|____ball(2)
|_____spring(2)


I've successfully managed to clone all the items at once, and they get the added number, but they are never parented.

Thanks!

Yep - Look in the Scene/Generic menu for the 'Clone Heirarchy' plugin. This should do the trick - simply select the base layer you want to clone and all its decendents will also be cloned and parented.

Great, thanks! That'll be a huge timesaver. :)
