Using the Multiply tool in 2D symbol of Library Part

Can anyone else verify that the multiply tool in the Library part symbol drawing area does not work at all?

I went to draw an object. Tried to copy some lines evenly distributed across a box. To find that the tool did not work. Even tried to use the pet palette command to do the same thing.

This is the command under the EDIT menu. Right next to move, rotate and such.

We are using 8.1 v1 build 1410 on a Mac under OSX 10.3.2.

TIA

Verified. Can't multiply by keyboard, menu, or palette. AC thinks it works; after trying it the Repeat menu item reads, 'Repeat Multiply'. Bug.

Must be a Mac thing; works OK on W2K (just checked)

Went through this with US tech support during a phone conversation.

Seems the problem goes away along with your preference files.

Tech Support had me do a New & Reset. Then we did it again and it worked. Now tell me how often you want to do that.

I am trying the same process in other projects that we have which were not started prior to 8.1 and are not Teamwork versions either. Both were factors in effect when I was working on the library part.

Hope to post another update soon.

Yes, Windows seems to uneffected by this problem.
