This is borderline ridiculous -- I've been working with Revit since version 7 (I'm on RA 2010 now) and I still can't believe that Autodesk hasn't found it necessary to default copy multiple. They found it necessary in AutoCAD, but not Revit. Is there a work around or some internal programming/macros that will automatically default copy to multiple?

I am in 2011 Structure and it is the same thing. I find it quite annoying. I don't think they even have a "Copy Multiple" command. I looked in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu and did not see anything for it. Please tell me I am wrong!

The options bar folks... remember that? Right below the ribbon - pick your object - the copy icon ... and then CHECK THE MULTIPLE BOX on the options bar.

You are right as usual. I am so entranced by the Ribbon as I came from RS 2008 that I forgot about that Options Bar. Thanks.

Revit remembers the last option of the command issued. If you want the copy command to default to multiple, then open your template file, issue the copy command, check the 'multiple' box on the options bar. [hint: you will need to actually copy an object. erase them when done before saving your template]. Now when you start a new project the 'multiple' option for the command will be selected by default. However if at anytime in the project you uncheck the multiple box, then it will revert to the single copy option.

I appreciate the heads-up regarding the checkbox in the options drop-down toolbar; however, your answer doesn't answer my original question. I shouldn't have to check a box to "copy>multiple" objects. I know the checkbox is there (it always was an option), but I'm looking for a way to force Revit to default copy>multiple to ON. Even if I am working in a project, save, close and re-open the project, the default copy>multiple is back to OFF (unchecked). It shouldn't be an option; it should just be ON by default, similar to AutoCAD. Any other ideas or suggestions?

Your choices at this time are: 1. Accept Revit for what it is as it will not have a copy multiple option anytime soon without checking the 'multiple' box on the options bar. 2. Abandon Revit and go back to using AutoCAD. Personally to me this is such a little thing to focus on in light of all the other benefits of using Revit/BIM.

Yeah, nothing has changed, but here’s a little old trick that I found extremely useful. You can copy an object (multiple times or not) by dragging it while holding the ctrl key, and the copied object is visible during the process vs just blue dashed lines when using a copy tool.
