Copying, and Pasting Sketch Entities

Copying, and Pasting Sketch Entities

Copying, and Pasting Sketch Entities

(OP)
I want to copy a sketch entity from one sketch to another in the same document. With the first sketch open I select the entity I wish to copy and hit CTRL+C. I then close that sketch and then open the sketch I want to paste to. I hit CTRL+V and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

RE: Copying, and Pasting Sketch Entities

Are you clicking in the new sketch before hitting Ctrl+V?

RE: Copying, and Pasting Sketch Entities

Works fine for me. Are you getting an error message?

Click a point somewhere in the new sketch before Ctrl+v.
