You cannot copy-paste layouts or subsets in AC10 - right-click menu item is gone and
Seriously .. is this a joke?
It ain't funny
On a PC we can just hold down ctrl while we drag the drawing/layout/subset in the Navigator. Just hold down the mac equivalent (opt/apple?) and it should work for you too.
Now if we could only find a way to clone subsets......

Oh thats great .. I never knew you could do that 
Problem solved.
Although I still wonder why they removed the copy/duplicate menu items although the ability to do it is still there .. Copy/Paste is a basic menu item that should be available for anything that can be copied.

I'm paying $6.50 on 'They just forgot to' and $0.10 on 'There was a good reason' ...
why? well can anyone think of a good reason to remove the ability to Cmd/Ctrl-C an item which can be copied, but keep an obscure, obviously not widely known method of doing the same thing? Strange logic indeed ..
Anyway .. thanks for another great tip Link. It is Opt on the Mac, not Cmd btw. Is this function documented anywhere? i wonder where else it works

(Apple software's support for it is weak, ironically; it doesn't work in iPhoto e.g.) And the idea of Copying and Pasting files (or file-like things such as layouts) is a Windows thing. OS X has it now, but only since 10.2 or so. I never use it.

well can anyone think of a good reason to remove the ability to Cmd/Ctrl-C an item which can be copiedNo. Since it's standard in Windows (and works in OS X), AC should have it. AC should observe the interface standards (traditions?) of whatever platform. And stop turning off harmless things that people use.

.. well now i really feel like an idiot. I have only been on OS X for the last couple of years but i'm surprised i haven't stumbled across this, or at least been told by one of our resident mac gurus. thats really nice. the more i use Macs the more I hope i never have to go back to Windoze based PCs.James wrote:Agreed. This area is one of my few gripes with 10 .. although im kind of glad they did now - i would never have found out about this! Much nicer way (even if its not the most obvious). I do wonder though if this command is not as well known (or documented) on Win just how many more people would have been asking this question.
