Is there a trick to copy and paste an object in the same location as the object copied? Or can it be duplicated in the exact location? For example, I have a table and want bottles to be on the table. When I copy a bottle and paste it, it gets pasted away from the original. I am doing this in a room where the table is located and sometimes the pasted bottle ends up outside of the room. I have to reposition it and it's kinda tedious.

Thanks!

Here's a trick for you (works best if the widget is turned off, but can work with the widget on, too, with a little practice) - hold down SHIFT then click on an object you want to duplicate and release the mouse and move the cursor. You should get a duplicate of the object that is following your mouse and you can place it wherever you like. If you want to create and place many duplicates, just keep the SHIFT key pressed (don't release) and click, release, drag, place, click, release, drag, place, etc. As long as that SHIFT key is held down, every time you click and release, you will generate and place a new copy of that first object you clicked on.
