[BUG] SU 2023.1 // Impossible to Copy Past between SU instances

[mrwip]

Hi,

I’m always working with multiple SU instances running at the same time, and constantly copying elements from one to the other, with a basic ctrl+C / ctrl+V, and it has been working in SU since forever.

But today, I’ve upgraded from 2023 to 2023.1, and this feature seems to be gone completely, two instances of SU running side by side don’t seems to be sharing the clipboard anymore !

Is it a known bug (if yes, when will it be fixed ?) ? Is it a (stupid and useless) change of rules in the way SU behave, whithout any warning ?

Can anyone with 2023.1 try it, to see if it’s just me or a new general issue ?

Thanks in advance

Yes, it’s a known bug, colin is giving the workaround here

If you have two versions of SketchUp open, or two instances of 2023.1, pasting into the second instance may not work at first. To work around that, do a Copy of anything in the second instance. That seems to wake up the clipboard, and you can now copy and paste from the first instance into the second instance. After having done one Copy action, copy and paste should work until you next restart SketchUp. I added this note, to say that the 2023.1.3 update fixed the problem with copy and paste.

it’s on PC only, hope they’ll fix it soon.

Glad I found this. Thought I was going mad.

@ateliernab’s work around worked. Cheers.
