qucik key for object insertion point

Anonymous
Not applicable
Does anyone know if there is a quick key that will cycle through the different object insertion points? The new element snap feature in 10 seems like a natural, but it doesn't seem to work when placing new objects, but is useful when dragging a copy of an already placed object.

I don't know any quick key. You may already know this, but if you option/alt click (eyedropper) on an existing part, the hotspot you click on becomes the insertion point.

i seem to recall there being a thread here somewhere on the wishlist that suggested all anchor hotspots be a different shape and colour much like the stretchable object hotspots.

if you can find it, please vote - it would be an extremely welcome minor interface addition - and useful for everything from objects to text resizing . . .

Thanks Marc. Although I have to ask why so little response to such a pragmatic worthwhile wish
I just wish I could vote again.
