Can't copy/paste into Photoshop with AC11???

I have typically copied floor plan info onto the Mac clipboard, and pasted it into Photoshop to do presentation work for the web. Now, in AC11 nothing is showing up in the clipboard. In AC10, and earlier, this worked fine. To make matters worse, saving as a Photoshop file, or a tiff, or jpeg... maybe others, does not properly save fills... see screen shot. Saving as a pdf works, but then you have to deal with transparent layers, and just seems to take more steps for something that was so simple.

On the screen shot, notice how the fill lines show up for the "foyer tile", a cover fill, but not for the porch floor which is a cover fill vis the slab setting.

I can copy/paste from the 3D window.

Anyone else noticed this, and have a work around?

thanks

Hi Rick,

This post/thread gave the XP registry change to make things work I think?

So, perhaps there is a Mac property that performs the same function. My Mac is off at the moment - maybe you can post the steps if you're successful?

Cheers,
Karl
