Is there ANY difference between Edit-Copy + Edit-Paste or just Edit-Duplicate?
Thanks.

Nobody knows?
They seem to be exactly the same, but then, why’d Unity team implement Duplicate? :roll:
In other engines, copypaste set the new copy in other position and duplicate in the same as the original, but in Unity the two ways set it at the original. So I ask myself if maybe is there some difference i don’t see.

potentially because
copy paste → windows way of doing it
dublicate → mac way of handling the situation

Ah, makes sense
So they’re the same, aren’t they?

Well the difference is the number of user actions.

And copy/paste can copy objects between scenes

Oh, didn’t know you can copypaste between scenes!
Now, that’s THE difference 8)
Thanks
