Hi! Thank you for this. Question, how can I do exactly this duplicating including the distance in InDesign? I tried Ctrl + D but it opens a window to place objects.

Thanks a bunch for this easy to follow tutorial! Coming from 10 years of Affinity Designer, functions are similar but still different.

Normally I can do a "Nudge Paste" where I use "cntl+nudge" to duplicate the object one nudge worth over. It's the easiest and quickest way to duplicate something in the same spot, because I can then, just nudge it back over into place. The problem is, I can't do this with a text box. Instead it increases or decreases the spacing between letters. Does anyone know of a work around?

I don't understand. the "Control D" hotkey does not work at all for me. I'm using the MAC version. Did you miss any steps in your tutorial? Do you have to copy the shape first? This doesn't make sense.

[@MegaIndahSari]

on Mac, it will be "Command D" but before you do the "Command D" you have to first do the "Shift Option". So it would be, highlight the object, then "Shift Option", then "Cmd D" and it should work.

Mine refuses to duplicate

[@omnirhythm]

Why does software have to be so terrible. Ctrl+J is the command in Photoshop, absolutely no reason for it not to work inside Illustrator when even Affinity Designer copied the behavior for consistency and ease of use. I just switched back from Designer to Illustrator after many years and seeing some fundamental idiocies like this one, or the pixel grid going out of document bounds and fatiguing the eyes - and even worse, not having opacity options as in Designer is truly horrendous. Speaking of which, no simple opacity options in the layers tab either. Adobe, what the hell.
