Copy-Paste

Copy-Paste

I'm used to being able to copy-paste all the time.

Turns out Inventor lacks that simple functionality in several spaces...

Copy and paste a sheet in a document (currently I have to paste it from a different document)

Copy and paste a table in the same sheet (currently you have to paste it from a different sheet)

Copy and paste elements form a title block anywhere else...

Copy and paste elements where they don't land on top of themselves or in a weird place.

Copy and paste formatting of elements like font, size, color, line width, arrow specs, etc.

 

It is just so frustrating...

Is the good old Copy-Paste still in our future?

It's no rocket science and it's on almost every piece of software there is regardless of platform...

C'mon, it's been two years!!!

Yes, it would be good to be able to copy and paste parts within an assembly without them disappearing into the depths of the model or off into hyperspace.

This idea / ability to "Copy and paste a (generic) table in the same sheet" has been implemented within Autodesk Inventor 2020.2. Resultant pasted tables will be cascaded atop one another so they are not atop one another or in a "weird place". Special thanks to everyone who cast a vote for it.

NOTE: This idea contains multiple suggestions, as such the following ideas will be leveraged to track community support for each, respectively.

  • Copy and paste a sheet in a document = Master Idea Here
  • Copy and paste elements form a title block anywhere else = Master Idea Here

@Anonymous There is a way to copy and paste sheets within the same drawing, but it's not obvious.
