A few days ago, I noticed that copy & paste in VCP 7 behaves two different ways, depending on how the C&P is performed. It is having an effect on my copying and pasting of objects to a newly-assigned layer.

- Menu, Copy
- Menu, Paste

vs

- Menu, Copy/Ctrl+C
- Ctrl+V

I haven't/don't recall having tried right-click-paste

When I copy a mesh and want paste it to a new layer, and I have the layer checked as the default layer, the mesh does not go to the checked layer if I use Ctrl+V. Is this the intended usage of Menu-Paste vs Ctrl+V?

that did happen to me on windows, now i am on my mac again and seems that some of the files generated on shark-pc-windows act that way when i edit them on shark-macosx

So you are right it acts this way

Copy and paste is weird and in my opinion there is a bug.

Set a new default layer, copy from a non-default layer and paste.

What should happen is that the pasted copy should be in the default layer, not the source layer.

There is no option in the Paste Options that rectifies this--everything pastes to the source layer.

Can this be fixed?

An alternative could be a right-click contextual sublist of paste actions, and maybe one that says "do this everytime I use this right-click sequence, and do NOT ask me again unless I edit the config file..."

It works as intended for me.

Uninstalled/Reinstalled FX and can report that today, cutting and pasting will indeed paste to the default layer. Weird.

J,

Have you tried cutting & pasting as well as copying & pasting from both the menu bar as well as the right-click contextual menu?
