i never use clone command. i could not understand what is its benefits
how many of you using very mostly.
please reply.
For instance, if you mirror a clone it will then no longer repsond to changes in the size or angle of the master, you have broken that relationship. So if you want to do that you have to select the master with the shape tool, select all nodes and then scale or rotate them.
If you edit any property of the clone it will no longer link to the master.
In addition to what Hywel said: If we "accidentally" change the properties of a clone so it loses its link to the master, it is possible to repair the destroyed connection by right clicking the clone and choosing Revert To Master.Clones is a very powerful feature but unfortunately (and I'm sure you agree, Hywel) it is yet another one of those old features that hasn't been properly updated to its full potential.
