copy and paste object from one drawing to another?

[Anonymous]

How can I copy a building (small garage) or outdoor fireplace from one AC drawing to another? I tried ctrl c / ctrl v and nothing happens?

Thanks!

You can't copy / paste from new version to older version (eg. copy from AC18 and paste into AC16) but it should work the other way, or within same version.

Check, though, that your renovation filters are consistent, i.e. you are not trying to paste new items into view with an existing (or demolition) filter.

It does work! If you don't have identical templates you might need to check what layers are active and it could be things are being put on a different storey.

Ahhh... Thanks! Not sure what I wasn't doing before, but turned on all layers, and did the copy and paste both on the same floor level and it worked!

Thanks!
