Linked duplicates are similar to what other programs call instance copies. The process to create a linked duplicate is pretty straightforward:

1 Select the object you want to duplicate.

2 With the object selected, choose Object ⇒ Duplicate Linked from the 3D Viewport’s header or use the Alt+D hotkey combination.From here, the behavior is just like regular duplication.The object is automatically in grab mode.

3 Place the object with your mouse and confirm its new location by left-clicking or by pressing Enter.

You can use a few other methods to verify that this duplicated object is, in fact, a linked duplicate. The easiest way is to tab into Edit mode on the original object or on any of the duplicates. When you do, all the linked objects appear to go into Edit mode, and any changes you make here automatically update all the other objects immediately. Figure 4-9 shows three linked duplicates of Suzanne being simultaneously modified in Edit mode.
