for obj in selection do (snapshot obj name:("DP_" + obj.name)).parent = obj

Nice. I need to get into the habit of writing shorter code to speed things up.

This should do the trick. I also added the feature to select the new copies and gave them "DP_" in front of the name to know its the copy.


try(destroydialog MakeCopyRO)catch()
rollout MakeCopyRO "" width:160 height:40
(
	--RO
	button doBtn "Copy and Parent" pos:[8,8] width:144 height:24
	
	--EVENTS
	on doBtn pressed do
	(
		undo "Copy And Link" on
		(
			copyAr = #()
			for obj in selection do
			(
				copyObj = copy obj
				copyObj.parent = obj
				copyObj.name = ("DP_" + obj.name)
				deleteKeys copyObj #allKeys
				append copyAr copyObj
			)
			clearselection()
			select copyAr
		)
	)	
)
createDialog MakeCopyRO
