Copying and Pasting Numerical Values

Stuart Gort Oct 19, 2013 6:51 PM

In my 2001 edition of Solidworks I was able, for instance, to copy (Ctrl C) the numerical value of a line length from the properties window and paste (Ctrl V) it into any other numerical value window. This ability seems to have been removed from my 2012 upgrade.

Having developed a GOOD DEAL of my methodology around that simple ability I am quite frustrated.

Is there something I'm missing?

Is there a parameter that enables or disables this ability that I've overlooked?

Any suggestions?

Stuart,

I'm still running 2010, so I have no direct experience of 2012, but I really doubt that such a basic function was dropped. I suspect that you have a bad installation.

I noticed this. It's a drag. Try RMB

Welcome to SolidWorks forums Stuart.

I can see the same behavior here but as Roland suggested, right click copy and right click paste is working. Agree with you that this was/is a robust option and should be back.

You might also find this post helpful for your future reference.
