Hello to all,
I noticed that the command copy step (ctrl + C) within a sequence does not copy correctly the movements made in the original step.
The same goes for the invert step command.
Is it a bug or something wrong?

ty,
Matteo.

Can you give a little more info on what is missing in the copied/reversed step?

The displacement is missing, the effects are maintained.

I attach video.

An auto alignment of part positioning happens when steps are reordered to prevent parts jumping position between steps. This auto alignment is applied after moving, copy/pasting, duplicating or reversing a step in a sequence and in some circumstances the result can be unexpected.

If you look at the location info for the keyframes of the fan blades in the duplicated step you will see that the location of the blades is set to be the same at the start and end of the step.

If you wanted to mirror the step to show the blades returning to their original position, you can mirror the tracks in the original step and then split the step in between the tracks. This will give you a mirrored version of the step.
