Yes, copy/paste in pcbnew works, there's no bug there. But the question is:
is it really useful that th

We should be ensuring unique time stamps when pasting footprints to
ensure any back annotation to the schematic is not corrupt.

I'd like a head's up when UUID is implemented as a lot of my code is
based on timestamps as unique IDs.

I see.
So the approach to duplicating a section would be
1) Copy the design in eeschema
2) in eeSchema push to PCBNew
3) Layout a single section.
4) Copy and paste that section
5) Re-annotate the PCB section (this works now!) without pushing to
schematic so the references correspond to the sche

The timestamps are moving to UUIDs as we speak.
The links are reset/updated when you do an Update PCB from Schematic and chose
the “re-associate by reference”
I guess I'd wonder then why provide Copy and Paste/Duplicate if the
result is not usable?
It seems like a sort of honey pot.

You can't backannotate something which doesn't have the "path".

Thanks for the explanation. I suspect it will need a re-think - or at
least some modification.
I am almost finished the "to do" list for geographic re-annotation. One
thing that occurred to me is that the "re-annotate selected" would be
very useful for duplicating design elements. For e
It's the symbol ID from the schematic. This defines the connection between
the symbol in the schematic file and the footprint in the layout file.
Indeed I have intended to ask about copying this in pcbnew. There's no way
to change (remove) it in pcbnew. Once a footprint is pasted or duplicated

In the "Kicad File Formats" PDF (and in KicadPCB files) there is (path

see any where this field is described in the documentation.
It seems that if I copy and past a symbol in PCBNew the "(path /" field

The plotting dimensions can be an option in the plot dialog. I don't
want to force the plot units one way or the other.
