Difficulty with Paste

joshbenner

I am able to select multiple items and copy them to the clipboard. However, when I paste, I get the crosshairs and the command prompt says "Place" -- but clicking does nothing. I can right click, but this does not appear to paste anything. Help?

When you copied the entities, where did you set your clipboard origin? If you set it at the default (by right clicking at the end of the copy command), it will be located at 0,0, and if this is far away from your entities, it might be that when you place them, they are simply far out of view.

Also, to check what you actually copied, try pasting into a word processor or paint program, this will show you exactly what is on the clipboard. The resolution will be horrible unless you have changed the default, but don't worry about that part, since it doesn't affect quality when posting into CC3.
