Hi Dorin
Gave this plug-in a try today, very nice work mate, here i a link to an image , Not posted to keep your topic clean.
pool tile Took me a few attempts to orientate the object and figure out that "centre x/y" referred to the object's position once it is pasted in, other than that all good, except [;)], i recall reading that the shape generator plug-in was used for some of your background work, could you use another of its attributes and have your plug-in remember the last settings used, very handy when tweaking a previous attempt.
Thx and well done [:D]

It appear You don't let me left this game.
I'm glad if someone find this plugin useful for something.
@Mike53
remember the last settings used
I encountered the same problem and You don'n want to know how many times I cursed my self for this when I've make tests.
I can't promise nothing but I'll try to learn more.
Please remember I'm not a programmer, I've start learning java 6 months ago.
Took me a few attempts to orientate the object
While You are willing to test I suggest to try negative value for start angle.

@hansmex
Finally I managed to install
You encountered some problems at this point? If so how You solve it?
I hope this one gets a place on the plugin page of the website...
It's a honor but I think is not yet good enough to be in that position.
Maybe after a deep polishing could be a part of AdvancedEditing if Tobias accept this.

@bdfd
Sorry to hear that.
I've try to reproduce Your conditions:
-Win10 fully updated,SH3D-32b=>work;
-SH3D, French localization=>work;
-Win10-French+SH3D-64b+French=>work.
I don't know howto reproduce Your issue.
If You say some frame remain on screen, try to launch from command prompt and maybe You receive some error messages.
On previously versions of my plugins I've discover errors when other locale than English are set but I've fix it on last versions.

@Mike53
I never test it in such conditions; multiple instances of SH3D, copy from one and Paste special to another.

If it is not possible to remember previous settings, can it be set up so the window remains open after clicking ok

New version 2.1 code name "Mike53" and on Source Forge .

The news:
-implement ability to remember last inserted values;
-add an Reset button (to default values);
-minor change on interface;
-some possible bug fixed and create other new.

Some screenshot:
English

French
Image Image

Possible problems:
I've try to paste 10000 objects and my PC has give-up.
With 1000 it took 3min 30sec.
So be carefully OR be patient.

Opinion pool: need someone an random generator? Maybe for grass field or forest.
