Rhino 8 -- Feature Request -- Paste At

Serengeti (Rhino WIP) Drafting & Illustration

I frequently open civil engineering ACAD files in Rhino. In most cases, the X- and Y-coordinates are in the millions of feet. I create my structural drawings in Rhino, but place objects much closer to the origin to improve rendering quality.

I often copy-and-paste from one file to another. Doing so for me would be a lot easier if I were able to specify an insertion point when pasting.

Is that a feature that can be added to Rhino 8?

Hi Fracois - is it OK if the coordinate you type is where one of the pasted objects’ bounding box corner goes?

In the meantime, I have this - it pastes to the current cursor location-

PasteAtCursor.py (485 Bytes)

To use the Python script use RunPythonScript, or a macro:

_-RunPythonScript "Full path to py file inside double-quotes"

-Pascal

I just need to get closer than millions of units away. I can then fine-tune after pasting.

Haven’t used a Python script before, but I’ll give it a go. Thanks!
