[solved] Copy of part of a layer to a layer copies the whole layer

Post by CerpherJoe » Sun Nov 22, 2020 11:41 pm

I have two separate QCAD installs. On the first I am able to copy items from a layer in a non-QCAD DXF file into a QCAD file onto a specific layer, no problem. However, in the other installation (perhaps different application configuration?) when I copy a handful of items from a layer, QCAD seems to copy the entire layer, even creating anew that layer in the destination DXF file where it previously did not exiist.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Works ok on:
3.22.1.0 (3.22.1)
Windows 10

Having problems on:
3.22.1.0 (3.22.1)
Windows 7

Hi CerpherJoe,

are the options for paste set identical in both QCAD installation? Launch paste and compare the options:

Thank you Husky! The install with the issue is in a remote office, I'll report back as soon as I can check.
