Copy/Paste between maps

I'm doing some floor plan maps from my main city map (huge monstrosity I plan on posting here when done). My question is, is there a way to copy/paste entities from one map to another? I want to copy the stairway from one floor to the next. Preferably at the exact same coordinates on each level. Is this doable?
Is there an easy way of doing this? I'm using CD3.

1) Edit Copy (Or ctrl + c)
2) Select the object to copy
3) Right Click -> Do it
4) Look at the command line [bottom]. It now asks for the coordinates for the clipboard origin. The default option, 0,0 suits us well for this, so RIGHT CLICK to accept the default (If you left click in the map, the coordinates will be set to whatever point you clicked on in the map)
5) Switch to your other CC3 window
6) Edit -> paste (Or ctrl+v)
7) Instead of placing the object with your mouse, type in 0,0 instead (The text you type will appear in the command line). Hit Enter. The object will now be placed at the exact same coordinates that it appeared in the map you copied it from
I was trying to use the Copy Entity function but that only wants to copy on the same map.
