Copying items from old plan to a new one ?

[Larry_Sweeney]

I had built a fireplace in an older version plan using a series of p-solids that I want to bring into a new plan. I brought the old plan into X10 and saved it as an X10 plan. I then clicked on the items I wanted in the old plan, clicked on the copy/paste icon, went into the new plan and tried to paste them, but my "copy/paste" icon would not show. I'm sure I've done this same thing for items many times before with no problems. Am I missing something simple or is there a problem?

I've periodically had copy paste failure in Chief, usually in the library (and Libre Office).

I keep a shortcut on the desktop to "clear clipboard" instructions are here.

you should be able to copy/paste

 

but could also block the items then save in library

 

then in new plan place from the library

 

that the items would be available for any future plans

Eric.................Blocking worked. I could swear I've done that many times without blocking the items.

 

Lew................To be honest, I didn't think about blocking the fireplace "box" and sending to library. I know I didn't want to send it to the library as a symbol because I wouldn't be able to modify it later.

 

Thank you all for you bits of CA wisdom. Have a great day
