That indicates there isn’t a hot key by default. You can make one, though, in Preferences. That’s what I did because I use it all the time.
Hello! Like Dave said, Paste in Place doesn’t have a predefined shortcut. I’d advise you to set the shortcut to Ctrl+Shift+V, like mine. That combination can be found in other 3D and 2D applications and it has become more or less a standard. Good luck!
Thanks.
Can anyone tell me why Paste in Place doesn’t have a hotkey??
Surely Paste in Place is one of the most useful functions!
Because of this, I’ve inverted @VahePaulman suggestion in my preferences …
@Cotty what a rebel! Living dangerously…
(I’m going to do that too)
I use Alt+V easier to hit than 3 buttons.
I use “ñ” a single key… Advantages of the Spanish keyboard, that key is usually never assigned
on a mac, you can’t assign shortcuts with command, they are taken by apple.
so if cmd+v is paste, can’t have cmd+shift+v for paste in place
But as I do most of my classes on a pc, I have both ctrl and cmd muscle memory at the same time.
so cmd V is paste, and I added ctrl v as paste in place.
I also have assigned the letter “Ñ” as a shortcut, but not for paste in place, the shortcut for paste in place is just “V”
v – same here, also c for copy, z for undo and y for redo.
Actually I just figured, you press option + command + V, it will do past in place.
On a Mac, if you would like to use the command key in a shortcut, you can setup keyboard shortcuts for applications via System Settings. There you can achieve a command-shift-V shortcut which will work as intended in Sketchup.
Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts
Why mess with the system settings, just set it up in SketchUp…
As Ateliernab pointed out, you cannot specify the command key to use in a shortcut within SketchUp’s preferences.
If you DO want to use the command key, this is one method that would allow it to work.
That’s fair.
But I just have Shift V setup in SketchUp for paste in place. One less key my fingers have to hit. I have Command Shift V setup with a text / string app that will paste without formatting, super useful for many things.
Since other softwares totally allow you to use the command key on a mac, I wonder if this is another legacy quirk that the mac version has been carrying since the early days.
it’s a bit annoying to have to go to two separate places to set shortcuts.
That’s like half the features / bugs of the software though!
Yeah. It’s genetic for sure.
Is that new? I always used to make custom key combinations that used command, and still have at least one that still does.
