When I'm building something like a stairway, or assembling a shape from tubular segments, the job of making many copies of a basic shape, doing the Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V copy-paste to get the parameters the same, and then moving each to a desired position, gets TIRING. It's also error-prone; I always end up with one or two pieces "hiding" in the same position as the original. Here's a script to take care of such jobs. Select an object, preferably a single shape, not a multi-part thing. Activate the script. Enter how many new copies you want, and the center-to-center spacing between them on the X, Y, and Z axis. Then hit Go, and the copies will appear, each with a name in typical Poser style. This message carries an example image; the script is posted along with the next message.
