Is it safe to use a single AliasTrans instance for multiple cloning operations with GetClone() or GetHierarchyClone()?

Or are you expected to free it and create a new instance for each use?

If it can be reused, what happens if you call GetClone() a dozen times with the same AliasTrans instance, then call Translate() afterwards? Is this preferred to calling Translate() after each call to GetClone()?

Hi,

yes, you can use one AliasTrans for several copy or clone operations with just one call to Translate() in the end.
Maybe the code snipped in the C4DAtom manual also helps.

Huh, didn't know about that code snippet. Thanks for pointing that out!
