I saw this come up in this post but it seemed to have gotten buried. It appears that when a user copies a block instance from one model to another, it brings with it all the DocumentUserText with it. Is this intentional? A lot of plugins use this to store data, and bringing this over with it can no…

Hi Michael - it is deliberate but under review: https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-48141 -Pascal

Thanks Pascal. I’d love to see some movement on this year old issue. IMO, the copy/paste default behavior should not include doc user text. I’d prefer a new command Copy Special command that allows the user to include more things to copy with it, including Document User Text.

Could this kindly be fixed and released in a Rhino 6 update, instead of having to wait another 4+ years for Rhino 7?

Copy/Paste of a Block Instance also caries Document User Text?
