    Default Mirror Copy default

    Everytime I mirror I have to uncheck the "copy" option in the options bar. I very rarely need to keep the old copy. Does anyone know a way I can set the default to plain old mirror? In revit.ini?

    ...just hold the ctrl key as you do the mirror. It will toggle off the copy.

    Whoa that's awesome. I guess it's related to holding Ctrl while dragging something to make a copy of it. Same thing works when using the actual Move tool. If you invoke the Move command and decide you want to copy the item, hold Ctrl while making the second click (the "move to" click).

    Likewise if you invoke the Copy command and decide you want to just Move the object instead, do the same thing.

    Has anyone come across a toggle for switching between Copy and Copy Multiple? I've tried all the usual suspects and come up empty.
