How do I change instance placement?

Hi All,

When I try to create multiple instances of something, I always have to search for them. Is there any sort of property value that I can change so that when instances are created theyll be placed in a way that is predictable? (x,y,z)

    I don't know how to control initial placement. You can use the Align pane (Window>Panes (Tabs)>Align) after creating them to get them into a controlled arrangement.

    Tried it. It seems kind of twitchy. I guess im not entirely understanding how it works.

    NOt usre if you can or not but once they are created you can just select them all in the scene tab and zero their position.

     

    If you do them one at a time they appear in the same space as the item they are a dup of

    Yah. Im certain that somewhere at some point in time, I saw controls that were native to ds that let the user set values for where the instances would appear after being created. I sure cant find the documentation for that though. I think ill just have to look into a tool  for that.
