Copy Object - Paste In Place

Rhino Rhino for Mac

Hi ,
Just getting started with Rhino , after CAD modelling in other applications .

Quick question - dealing with block objects . I wish to copy certain contained objects and " Paste in place " but outside of the Block . Possible? or do I have to explode the block and recreate ?

All copy and paste I have found in Rhino is Copy Tool dependant . I have not found a copy - paste - paste in place command which retains the copy information outside of that tool process . ie
copy . make to further operations . and subsequently paste / paste in place .

Hi Lokomotiv -

You can enter BlockEdit mode, copy the object(s), exit the mode and paste.

Ahh Yes - So stupid .

Rhino pastes in place automatically ! DOH

Is there a way not to place in place automatically?

Just use the Rhino Copy command (not Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V) and copy the object(s) somewhere else.

Hi, thanks! but do you know if there is also a way to not paste in place across multiple documents?

No, there is not - the Copy command only works within the active document. CopyToClipboard uses the world coordinate system and the objects will get pasted in any other document in the same location as the original.
