I've just installed the Creo 3.0 build m120... and I noticed that the text copy&paste from Google Chrome, Notepad, Notepad++ to a drawing doesn't work ... I only can copy from Iexplorer and MS Word ...

The copy a text from the Creo lower dashbord also doesn't work .

The workaround is paste inside the format -> text editor

The build m100 works well, but the m110 have the same behavior as m120 ...

I'm running Creo on Windows 7

Any help would be appreciated ...

hum... Ok, I concur, I see the same issue in Creo 3-m110.

specifically. I created a drawing empty no model, added a note and picked a placement location. Then tried Control-V to paste text I'd earlier copied using Control-C.

Didn't work with text copied from the message area, or Chrome. Did work with text copied from IE.

If you type some text and then go to the properties for the note you can paste text into that dialog from any source.

This seems to be a very narrow case. The problem only seems to appear when you have placed a note on the drawing that has no text and are trying to use control-V to populate the note with the copied text.

I'd open a case with PTC.

The paste mechanism depends on the 'pasting' application asking for the desired data. The 'copying' application can place several data formats on the clipboard. I expect the problem is that the drawing note paste is failing because it is trying to retrieve a format in a way that the Clipboard can't comply and so returns a null, while the Properties Paste asks correctly.

The most likely factor is along the lines that the Windows apps put an item on the clipboard with a type of '0' and the 'paste' wasn't linked with the correct header, so it is asking for a '0' rather than a '1'.

Ref Clipboard Formats (Windows)

tl;dr this is very likely to be a PTC development problem and will need to be fixed there.
