Copy with basepoint

In autocad, when you select objects to copy, there is an option to copy with basepoint. Meaning, once you select the objects, you are then prompted to select a basepoint. When when you past the objects, they are pasted in relation to that point. This would be extreemly helpful as Alibre sometimes pastes stuff in very strange locations or right ontop of a complicated sketch.

        I sure miss AUTOCAD's block function when coping & inserting multi copies of a piece of a drawing.

        I am unsure anyone reads these, However I agree copy with basepoint is extremely useful. This should be labeled "Copy Face with basepoint" with the ability to paste in new sletch. The additional enhancements to easily scale the new sketch are also needed
        Thanks www.cnc-n-signs.com

        I would have to agree it be nice to copy and place an object with a basepoint this would save a lot of time. Check out Autocad and you'll see what we mean. I would use this feature!!
