Copying new unique entity names quickly?

[Alkaline]

I remember seeing a video tutorial a while ago that about this trick where you could quickly name entities if the first one had the suffix "_01". But now I don't know how to replicate the process, or if it exists. I tried to simply shift-drag an already named entity but it holds the same name and is a bore to constantly change the name every time I shift-drag.

This would help me because I'm trying to make a long track out of path_tracks and help something else I'm trying to do.

Didn't see this. Must have skipped past my unread topics, but here's your answer.

select whatever it is you want to duplicate.

go to edit > paste special

make sure the [pasted entity names unique] box is checked

bam
