ArchiCAD 22 - copy and paste within text boxes

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi All,
I am having an issue where i am trying to copy partial text within a text box and paste it into another text box. It looks like the text doesn't even copy to the clipboard when I select "copy" and hence when I paste there is nothing! My colleague has the same problem. We are using ArchiCAD 22. If we copy and paste text from elsewhere, such as Notepad, it seems to work fine. It only happens when trying to copy from text box to text box within ArchiCAD. Is this a bug? Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks

Damn, thanks for the update.  I was hoping this problem would be resolved by AC27 - I'm about to start a project it that.  My copy function doesn't work at all anymore in AC24. Definitely the most time-consuming problem with Archicad. Such a basic function to not have!

this is still one of the biggest issues that Graphisoft refuse to look into and resolve. The fact it's been happening since v22 and we're about to go to v28 is astoundingly poor software management from graphisoft and everyone involved.

they don't care. we just need to pay what they want and plee then to atleast have something work. I have ac 27 and have to work with ac26 because ac 27 is pure crap while opening references / objects / zooming!

The copy paste fuction is a gem for us to deal. Just shift+-x and the cut fubction works. That's just the case to add an extra shift + V to paste it again... wo bother for the extra clics

Thank you so much!!!  😀   - I think I have gone for 6 months now managing without copy and paste within the text box (there are a few work-arounds involving copying the entire box and deleting what I don't want - or if I am doing a lot of text work I will turn off my Eset Antivirus security tool "safe passwords and banking" restart my whole computer - do the text work - and then re-toggle the safe passwords and banking back on when I've finished again - what a hassle that was!)

 

On my PC I need to add the shift to both the copy/cut and paste functions  ie. CTRL + SHIFT + X (or C) and CTRL + SHIFT + V to paste again.

 

You have solved me soooo much hassle - made my day! - Thanks - LNAK

 

 

Does your Eset Antivirus have settings that will allow it to ignore the Graphisoft programs?

i've looked into this many times on hte Esetand can't see any issue. It doesn't appear to be an Eset probelm as some users above dont have Eset software and have the same problems
