Shortcut for renaming Object to existing named Object?

Hi Michael,

That does the trick nicely, many thanks. Saved in my shortcuts as Ctrl+M. (That doesn't appear to clash with the other documented shortcuts.)

I guess I've started using Objects in a similar way that I envisage using Groups, when they're implemented.

I'd be interested to hear how others are referencing their geometry, so far as being able to rebuild a sub-part without, say, winding their file back to an earlier version.

Speaking of which, does anyone use file version control? I have an app that saves a new version each time I do a save within MoI. It works well and has been useful, but it's a bit unwieldy in that there's no image saved as a reminder of where I was at at any particular version. I can append a note to each version, but quickly get bogged down in the semantics of describing subtle changes to a part's features.

So, any 'construct management' tips much appreciated.
