when i select the object and do an instance as i do in 2.0, it says the operation only apply in model.

I select the object and creat it as a model then i works. But i hate to make everything into a model. just making the scene complex. Why and How can i make it like 2.0 does.

If you want instances (like you had in 2.x) then use the clone option, not the instance option. (The old Instance tool has been renamed clone.)

The new instance tool is much better and a whole lot faster. The only down side is that you have to make a model out of your object first. But if you don't like that, you can go back to the old way by using clone.
