Is there a more accurate way to cut and paste FT3 into CC3 templates?
I've managed to figure out how to cut and paste my FT3 exports into a CC3 template by running two instances of CC3, but the method of doing so is a bit sloppy; since it keeps on (slowly) redrawing the FT3 stuff whenever you try to move it into the other instance, it's really hard to get to line up well with the borders (it's not an issue of the distances being off, as I'm scaling them to be the same width). Is there any way to do the following:
1. Copy from the instance running the FT3 entities, and specify that the copy is "generated" from the coordinate in the center.
2. Paste into the instance with the CC3 template, and specify that the paste is "generated" from the coordinate in the center.
I know this isn't worded as well as it could be, but lets say you're using graph paper, and you want to copy and paste a 10 by 10 square to another piece of graph paper... this would be similar to marking 0,0 (as far as x/y coordinates) on the original, and then lining this up with the 0,0 coordinate on the piece of graph paper where you would paste it.

When you do a clipboard copy in CC3, you are first asked to select the entities, and when you click "Do It", the command line will ask for the copy origin. Simply enter 0,0<enter> instead of clicking a spot with your mouse. When you paste it in to the other instance, the command line tells you to place the copy. Now, simply type 0,0<enter> here too, then hit the right mouse to finish pasting.
As you hopefully have guessed by this point, the 0,0 value is a set of coordinates. Instead of using 0,0, you can use any other coordinates, and they don't have to be the same on the source and destination. If you need different coordinates, use CC3's measuring tools to determine them, then simply type them in as explained for precise placement.
