Make duplicates real produces too many objects I'm new to Blender (using version 2.74); I was looking for a way to position several Suzannes in a circle and came across this question which has an answer based on this Blender wiki page.

I followed it (several times from scratch, actually), trying to position 6 Suzannes in a circle. It works for me up to the point when I do Ctr + Shift + A to make duplicates real. When I do this, my 6 Suzannes are still in a circle but the Outliner shows there are now 100 Suzannes in the scene; which is actually true - 94 Suzannes are hidden under one of the 6 other ones.

The number 100 happens to coincide with the default setting of Path Animation -> Frames; I made sure to change that to 6 as mentioned in the tutorial. Which doesn't fix it.

Why does the number of Suzannes go from 6 up to 100 when I make duplicates real? Is there a bug or am I missing something?
This is because there were always 100 Suzannes.

Dupliframes will always create the same number of duplicates, even if the object is not moving. By default it's set to duplicate frames 1-100. If you only want to duplicate frames 1-6, then change the start and end values to match the desired range:
