CTRL+C CTRL+V Coordinat problem?

ali279

After selecting it with CTRL + C, I say CTRL + V then the right click coordinates of the mouse is different, which is the solution of this problem in the beginning?

If you only use Ctrl + c then Bricscad chooses a default point as the base point and this is used when you try and paste the object.
If you use Ctrl + Shift + C then Bricscad will ask you first to pick a base point and then this will be the point used when you try Ctrl + v

Is there also a way to place a selection copy at the same place ?
I mostly want this and when I CMD+C CMD+V I always type in 0,0,0.

Is there a CMD*D for duplicate or a CMD+SHIFT+V for a "paste in place" ?

To paste the selection to the original coordinates just press Enter when you are prompted to specify the insertion point.
There is also a 'Paste to original coordinates' option in the Edit menu.
The default base point for a selection set is the bottom-left corner of the bounding rectangle of the selection. Therefore, if you type 0,0,0 as the insertion point, the selection is not pasted to the original coordinates.

"0,0,0"

That's what I feared.
Will a RMB click do the same as an ENTER in this situation too ?

Michael reread Louis's post, just pressing Ctrl+c and then Ctrl+v followed by ENTER will paste to the original coordinates, even between drawings

Yes, I just realized that my input workaround went to file origin.
Which ws nearenough to not recognize but wrong.
I will either get used to the Enter or code that paste in place into
my Enterprise button.

Michael Mayer

Got it.
It works for the Enterprise button macros to "paste in place".
But meanwhile I think the standard
"past and glue to cursor by insertion point to place by next click"
isn't that bad either.
