operation cut and paste

[goldhntr]

I am having trouble with consistant behavior of the traditional window (Ctrl C,Ctrl V) cut and paste in the operation manager. In V9 cut and paste worked like clockwork. I am unable to get any consistant (therefore reliable) behavior using cut and paste. I know that I can highlight and right click drag and drop, but cut and paste was much quicker. The drag and drop requires more care because you have to ensure you select the correct (copy after) option. Select, Cntl C , locate, Ctrl V worked very nicely.

I'm having the same problem. Deleting an op is also an issue. I find that it also depends on where the red marker is. Try moving the marker in front of the op you want to copy and paste. This has worked for me but as you say it very inconsitant. The right click menu in the op manager works every time but not as quick as ctrl c ctrl v

That still doesn't work 100%. It hasn't since V7.

I have this problem too. Occasionally Ctrl C / Ctrl V will work, but not predictably. I have pretty much given up on this method. Also when trying to select more than one operation, holding the Ctrl key doesn't always work like it should.

Using the shift key doesn't always work well in the ops manager either. Last I heard, they know about it. If I need all of my toolpaths selected, clicking on the toolpath group selects them all every time.

 

As for the Ctrl key, someone said (I think it was gcode) that if you click in the graphics window before selecting the next op, it will work predictably. Kind of a pain, but may be worth it if it works every time. Maybe the same can be done when using shift?
