Yes, using copy/paste from the edit menu (or keyboard commands). You may be on to something re objects that would be outside the boundaries of the new card - I'll check that. Pete Haworth On Jan 17, 2011, at 12:30 PM, J. Landman Gay wrote: > On 1/17/11 2:15 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: >> No, I'm

Peter, I suspect it's something you've done recently. I have the same setup and it has been working for me in copying from one stack to another for sometime, though I've not tried it in the past week or so; just not at a place where I care try it now. You might want to try a restart; maybe even

I remember it working in the past as well but it's not now. I'm on LC 4.5.2 and Snow Leopard. I just tried it with Rev 4.0 and it didn't work there either. Puzzling. Not a huge deal to copy the controls individually and position them manually but I wish I knew why it's not working. Pete Haw

The objects are placed into the clipboard without location data is my guess. so when you paste them back in, they just get dumped onto the new card. Could try, grouping them, then using place to place them on the new card, then if needed, ungroup from the first card. On Sun, Jan 16, 2011 at 12:56
