How do I copy rectangle in Fusion

[pythoncontrol]

Hey why it's so hard and not intuitive to copy a single rectangle?
I click on it i click CTRL+C like every normal human would do i click paste nothing happens.
I click on it i right click on it i select move and copy and it just unselects and I can do nothing.

How much is the autodesk lesson or course from advanced gurus who know how to copy element in this tool?
Why make your users life so hard?

Works fine here. Can you share a screencast of how you are attempting to copy/paste that rectangle?

Hi, in addition to what @TrippyLighting has asked, can you share the file that is giving you trouble so the experts here can take a look?  Thanks!

Copy and paste may not be the best way. Where are you up to on the learning Fusion journey? You asked about Autodesk lessons or courses?

You probably need to understand a few basic things about rectangles in sketch.  There is no object that is a rectangle.  A rectangle is just a collection of lines, with some constraints applied.  There is no difference between a rectangle created by drawing 4 lines, and one created with the Rectangle command.  In fact, the Rectangle command is really just a UI shortcut to automate the drawing of those four lines.  In addition, the shaded are is a Sketch Profile, and is not the rectangle itself.  You cannot, for instance, copy and paste a Sketch Profile.  It is defined by the bounding geometry.  A profile is only selectable for commands like Extrude, Sweep, etc.

so, to copy a rectangle, you need to select the 4 lines that make up the rectangle.  The rest (constraints, profiles) will come along with the Paste.

You can copy a rectangle either by individually selecting the 4 lines, using area select (box select), or any other method.  However, there is one easy shortcut:  In sketch mode, double-clicking on any curve will select all the chained curves that that curve is attached to:

Thank you very much for detailed explanation for my ignorance.
