One of the things that annoys me the most is the poor functionality (or sometimes entirely missing! ) of the paste-command in the context menu. This besides the fact that copying/pasting of Microsoft Office items (especially Excel tables!) doesn't give the fidelity and user friendliness you'd expect from two leading, giant IT brands...
For example: When copying cells/range from an Excel sheet you need to click at least 4 times and travel a great distance with your mouse to paste it in your drawing:
- Copy cells
- Switch to Inventor window
- Select tab Tools
- Select sub group Clipboard
- Select Paste Special
- Select Paste With Link
- Select OK
It would be a better solution to copy the item you wish to paste in the drawing, go to your Inventor drawing, right click to context menu, select "Paste" or Paste with link" (see image below) and place what you've copied. So: no clicking too much and no excessive travelling with your mouse.
