As Jacque has pointed out, 'empty' and 'zero' depend on context. When doing math calculations, I always force a math evaluation... If t1 + 0 = 0 then ... If t1 is empty it will then always evaluate to zero. Might help in your situation. Best regards, Hugh Senior FLCo ___

I think it depends on how you work with groups. If you use Edit Group to go in and edit a group, copy and paste acts the same as option-drag. If you prefer to directly select objects inside a group, without actually going into the group, then copy and paste acts differently, because you’re at th
