Copy and Paste in 3D - Page 4

Karl Ottenstein · ‎2005-08-25

We need the ability to copy elements from the 3D window of one running AC session and paste them into the 3D window of another running session.

Since I'm talking about two sessions (two files), I'm putting this wish in the Cooperation Wishes forum, rather than User Interface. 😉

I managed to delete some elements in my model (first time, knock on wood) and could see them clearly in 3D in an old file. Without wanting to figure out which stories these elements were on, I wanted to just select them in the 3D window, copy, and paste them into the 3D window of the screwed-up model. No go.

It is surprising that we do not have this ability to copy from 3D via clipboard since we can do it from plan. [We do have the ability within the 3D window to drag copies of existing elements by tapping Ctrl/Command during the drag.]

So, how about it: copy/paste from/to 3D window anyone? 😉

The corollary wish is for save-selection-as-module (and merge) to work in 3D.

But the information about voting criteria for open wishes still remain incorrect - also there is no note to the asterisk.

@thesleepofreason,

Thanks, corrected.

@Laszlo Nagy
Yes - the number of votes is added but

"Based on the number of votes* it receives within two quarters (6 months), it will either progress to the "Upvoted" status or gets "Closed" if it does not meet the required criteria"

is still incorrect as wishes with <200 votes on deadline doesn't get closed. If GS believe that 200 votes and six months is a reasonable criteria (it is not) then they have to own it and actually close the wishes that fail to reach it and not hide it away amongst all other open wishes. It should then also be easy to filter on closed (and on hold) statuses in the wishlish giving the full picture of user involvement in the development process rather than one censored to suit GS's narrative.

I think this has been discussed before somewhere - these numbers are not "carved in stone", they may change in the future depending on the real-world numbers of the Wishlist, which is why not all wishes that did not collect 200 votes in 6 months are closed.
