Objects pasted from clipboard have zero size

Post by Eelie » Thu Apr 22, 2021 12:20 pm

I am using version 3.26.2 in Windows 10 (64)
I have suddenly hit a problem with cut with reference and copy with reference. Objects that I cut or copy appear in the clipboard but when they are pasted they have zero size properties. A circle will have zero radius or diameter and a line will have zero length for examaple. This has only happened recently.

Please check the scale when pasting:

A value of "1" means no scaling.

Thank you. Problem solved. I'm guessing that's a new feature because I have never noticed that dialogue box before and I wasn't looking for it.
