Rhino 8 - CopyToClipboard not working in Layouts

Hi all,

Basically what the title says. Building a multi-page layout template in Rhino 8, and trying to copy objects between Layouts. I’ve tried Cmd+C and “CopyToClipboard”, but using Paste and Cmd+V yield “Unable to paste, no Rhino objects or text on the Clipboard.”

Hope someone has a fix!

Hi Robert, I’m not able to repeat this, can you try in a new file?

What is your systemInfo look like? (run systeminfo command in the rhino command line)

Thanks

Rhino_SystemInfo.txt (4.7 KB)
^^^

Tried again in a new document and still can’t paste. Copying/pasting text works fine, just not rhino objects.

Hi Robert -

Just to make sure, could you post a very simple 3dm file with geometry on one layout that you can’t copy to a different layout?

I am having this same issue. Can’t copy and paste any text, lines or objects between layouts. I can copy and paste within a sheet. Slowing down drawing time by a landslide

I am having the same issue as well

@user384, @James_Stodgel1 - can you help us repeat this? We could use a file and step-by-step instruction on how to make this not work.

Thanks,

– Dale

Hello, I still have this issue. I have 20 different pages, somehow i cannot copy paste and object on just two of them. It works on the ones. Even after restarting and everything. I have no clue on how to fix this…

Hi Cyriac -

It sounds like you have a very reproducible case. Please post or upload the 3dm file and step-by-step instructions on how to repeat this.
-wim

Hi Cyriac -

Thank you for uploading your file.
In that file, only layout “DETAIL GLASS DOOR” doesn’t show the geometry that you copy-paste to all layouts.

When I then copy-paste that geometry to that layout, I also see that nothing gets added. Checking the layer states on that layout shows that turning on layout “2D” shows the geometry.
