Copy and paste of component

#1 Post by arco » 29 Mar 2017, 21:07

If I want to copy/paste a component in a schematic all goes well if I use the right mouse key and choose copy/paste from the menu.
The copied component is placed at the mouse cursor position.

But not so if I use Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V for copy/paste (works much faster and easier). Then the copy is not placed at the mouse postion, but op top of the original component...

I don't see any use in stacking components on top of each other?...

The pasting from menu is place the components near cursor position.
When work Ctrl+V, the cursor position may be in the outside of working field.
Therefore, in this way the components will be placed in one area.

Suggestion: Place component on mouse cursor if it's in the work area. Works fast and logical.
(piling-up 20 components is useless and you still have to drag them one-by-one with the mouse to the desired location; much more work)

What do you mean? You can right click on a component and pick copy. Then right click and pick paste component or paste component values. You need to right click a components name area in the inspector.
