From that expanded list, you don't need your step 3, the location is set in your step 6. And step 4 can be anywhere inside the drawing window, it doesn't matter where your mouse is when you bring up the popup menu, doesn't have to be on the entity to be copied.

Note that when copying inside the same map, It is usually easier to use :CC2COPY: instead of clipboard copy.

3. shouldn't be where you want to place the entity, the point cc3+ asks for is the ORIGIN of the copy, not the destination. Unless you are doing some precision manipulation, the normal place to click is in the center of the thing to copy. When you past something, it will be placed just as far from the cursor when you click to place, as the point you selected in this step was from the original entity.

@Ralf will have to confirm this, but I suspect the missing fills are just due to poor cleaning of the template. None of those missing fills appears in any of the drawing tools for the style. That list is full of things that don't belong there.

I think this is a limitation with using raster symbols as a symbol fill. You'll find the issue remins the same if you just draw a regular shape with the basic tools with that fill too, no need to involve a drawing tool. The issue here is that the symbol fill expects to be able to crop the part of the symbol that's outside the fill area, but that is impossible with images, because you cannot reduce them into lines and polys which you can chop into pieces like with vector symbols. The symbol fill fill style was defined well before raster symbols where a thing

Draw -> Symbols in Area is much more suited for this operation. It will even give you the option to randomly select from the grave group so they don't all look the same. You may need a couple of attempts to find the right values.

What Wyvern states is correct. That time is to allow it to become March 1st in every time zone.
