Copy/paste missing?

redklyde4CKN — Sun, 07 Jan 2024 05:28:47 GMT

Did something happen to the simple copy/paste functionality? I haven't used 360 in a while, but hopped on to model a part for 3d printing. After it updated, there is no copy option in the context menu and Ctrl-C Ctrl-v does nothing. The only way I can copy something is by moving it and creating a copy. Which is alright for some things, but I can't duplicate sketches or anything. Searching online, everything just says to ctrl-c/v or right click copy. But those don't seem to exist.

You need something selected - then Copy will happen.

After you Copy - Paste will happen.

Might help….

cntl C > cntl V works for me. As said in the other reply, you need to select the object first

"but I can't duplicate sketches or anything"

You cannot copy/paste sketches in a parametric design. That has never been available in Fusion. However, you also say "anything". Does that mean if you select a component and right click, you do not see "Copy" in the context menu?

hmm, strange. Well I suppose I could be crazy, but it seems to be working today. And yes @jeff_strater , yesterday I was unable to copy bodes, components, sketch objects or anything. Copy was never in the context menu whether using the browser or viewport. I was having to create new sketches and align points by hand and reassigning the sketch plane.

Jeff, unless I do not understand what you mean by a "parametric design", I copy and paste sketches quite often within the same sketch and between sketches. Could you elaborate a bit on your statement?

@jhackney1972 - you are copy/pasting sketch geometry. I was referring to copy/pasting an entire sketch (i.e. selected from the browser):

You can copy/paste a sketch in a Direct Modeling design, though.
