The Nudge Steps command keeps the original object?

Scripting
1

I have collected the script below.

Function is to quickly enter Nudge Step values ​​in properties.
But I’m still not satisfied

I want the original object to choose nudge to remain the same, and generate a new object with the value gap entered.

Please guide me to add the nudge object copy command

print "Arrow Nudge: ",nudge_step,"  Ctrl+Arrow: ", ctrl_nudge_step,"  Shift+Arrow: ", shift_nudge_step

If I understand what you are saying…

The script you posted above simply changes the Nudge increments without having to go through the Options page - that’s all it does.

“Nudge” in Rhino is designed to move objects, not copy them. That’s what the word actually means, “to give something a small push”.

If you are wanting to copy objects at a specified distance along one of the principal axes, the easiest way (IMO) is to use the Gumball arrow key with Alt held down and type in a distance. In V6, the Gumball will remember the last distance used, so you can repeat the move/copy by just clicking the arrow again and Enter. If you are wanting to make many copies along an axis, use the Array command.

Add Copy In Place and nudge the said copy in your script?
