Smart Duplication

Smart Duplication allows you to select a shape or group of objects and multiply it as many times as you wish. This is useful for creating additional objects within a section, adding to a diagram and re-spacing / distributing them. For example:

(for some reason TG isn't uploading the gif... see release notes above for example. I would complain to IT that isn't working but they'd then assign that ticket to me to do anyway)

Select an object, or series of objects like the above and Xara will detect if it is possible to duplicate these, and show you a + icon which you can then drag to duplicate.

Please also see this article here on use cases for Smart Duplicate.

Cloud Performance Improvements

Further improving from our last update, we've made more improvements to the performance of Cloud, reducing the load time of documents, the editing of text and responsiveness of changes. Cloud should feel a lot more 'snappier' and particularly text heavy documents will see a large improvement to load and edit speeds.
