Kelley Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 When I Copy and Paste between two documents [like between Model#3 and Model#7, but both in the same .prj] I usually get three copies stacked on each other. Any clues as to why that happens? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 When I Copy and Paste between two documents [like between Model#3 and Model#7, but both in the same .prj] I usually get three copies stacked on each other. Any clues as to why that happens? Thanks. Last time I saw something like that I discovered that the model I was coping was three models on top of one another. How that happened was a mystery. If your sure the original model is not the same way then I don't know. r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Forwood Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 If you are pasting by using a keyboard shortcut, (Ctrl+V), you might be holding down the keys too long. You could adjust the timing of the auto-repeat in your keyboard settings or practice a lighter touch or use the menu paste command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Double-check to make sure there isn't 3 layers already in your 'copy' model...(model #3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuchur Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 In these cases, Group-Connect is a lifesaver! First: Click on a CP(carefully, you dont want to select more than one cp here) of your source-object and use group-connect (Default-Key: /) and move it aside... Is it only one model or is the problem already there? Have a look at your options-panel too... there is a setting which may help you to determine what is going on there: Units -> Paste / Extrude-Offset. *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelley Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 If you are pasting by using a keyboard shortcut, (Ctrl+V), you might be holding down the keys too long. This is it! I checked the original that was copied. There's only one there. Early in my A:M days, I had a problem with white lines highlighting the patches. Nancy Gormanzano showed how to see if there was a second copy underneath. [click on a spline near a CP and Group Connect. Slide object away to reveal what's underneath. Clicking directly on the CP won't work.] But I know that as a .prj grows and models are added, my machine slows and the CTRL>V often doesn't register. So I hit it hard and hold it. That's gotta be doing it. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
