cut/paste between drawings...

[pdkoren]

I'm relatively new to CREO 2 from WF4. What happened to the old cut/paste functionality between drawings? I can use control-C and control-V in a single drawing, but if I try to paste on a different drawing, nothing...I know I used to do thisall the time with WF4. I can't imaginePTC would have removed this functionality, so what am I missing??? I have a symbol on one drawing that I highlight,control-C, go toa different drawings, control-V and nothing? I know I amcopying the symbol because if I stay on the first drawing and do a control-V I get a pop-up window with the symbol in it, select a point on the symbol and a point in the drawing and there's my copied symbol. Why doesn't it work between drawings? Orprobably more appropriately, what am I doing wrong?

thanks...

I just verified that Copy/paste still works in dwgs using Creo2 (M080).

I used to have this same problem in both WF3 and WF4 when the units of each dwg did not match. For example, copy/paste does not work across dwgs if one dwg is in inch and the other in metric. They must be the same units

Now if someone from PTC could read this and change Creo so that it would prompt the user as to convert/interpretthat would be great!(Similar to the dialog for changing model units...Although, even an error message that told the user would be nice...)

I hope this helps.

It works from one drawing to another in the same session of CREO 2 but it doesn't work if you are trying to use 2 separate sessions of CREO. I think that was true in previous releases also.

Hello Paul

I don't know whether it may be the case for you or not, but take care to be in the Standard application in both drawings, prior to Copy & Paste.

The copy & paste functionality does not seem to work in another application than the Standard one. I face the same problem while using the Pro/Piping application. I have to swap back to Standard in the drawing where I copy the entity and also in the one where I want to paste it.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards.

I have had issues when the drawings are different units also in CREO 3. Just doesn't give me the paste option.
