copy on one doc and paste to another doc

Post by Heurtaut12 » Sun Mar 12, 2023 5:27 pm

Mac OS Catalina
version 10.15.7
QCAD 3.27.8

I used to be able to copy items on one open doc, then go to another open doc and paste those items. It was a simple copy/paste. The paste function still comes up in the other doc, but nothing shows when I click. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Most likely, your scale factor is zero when pasting:

Couldn't we consider a zero scale factor as erroneous and default to factor 1?
Or, what is the intended purpose of a zero scale?
