Paste in previous place

Post by Editorflow »

Hey there,

could just find a Topic that hasn't been continued. And my old Post that. The Hint CTRL+V doesn't paste "in place" as we need to.
We need a function to copy and paste in between technical drawings in the same spot. So that you don´t have to scroll in to 500% to put the copied lines and solids in the right spot with using the arrow keys. Is there any funkction like that? (comparable to the Indesign function shift+ctrl+alt+V)

Are there any 3rd Party plugins maybe that can implement this?

Cheers,

Flo

Hello Flo,

If you paste an annotation with Ctrl-V it should paste at the same coordinates on a new page/new document as where the annotation was in the original file. This works that way by default, and using mouse right click -> Paste will paste at the mouse position if the relevant option is checked in the preferences.
If however the pages in one document have been rotated - then the annotation might appear rotated.
Also - if the documents/pages are with different dimensions and scale - the annotation will paste at a "wrong" location.

Do you have any samples that you can provide that illustrate this?

Regards,
Stefan

Hey Stephan,

i tried to Copy and Paste (ctrl + c & ctrl+ v) in the same Location (as you said "...by Default") but it doesn´t work. It gets randomly placed on the sheet.
I made a new document with 4 identical pages and tried to copy and paste a stamp (maybe that´s the Problem --> stamp)?!

cheers



---> Problem solved - Thanks!

I see the suggestion in your other topic worked!
