Hi,  
when copy-pasting blocks from one Rhino instance to another through clipboard, the BlockManager gives an error on missing geometry.

Version 6 SR31 (6.31.20315.17001, 11/10/2020)  
VisualARQ 2.9.1.14486 (2020/11/04)

Edit: Behaviour seems to be linked to VisualARQ plugin. Works, when VisualARQ is not active.

Import from a file seems to fail as well with blocks…
