The current behaviour of 'paste in place' is to deliver the objects copied relative to the coordinate system defined by the user origin, or if there is no user origin, aligned to the coordinate system defined by the internal origin.
Sometimes, we want to copy from a file containing a user origin but want to paste relative to the internal origin.
An option to do this in the paste in place command would be useful.
As would 'copy with base point' where you select objects, define a point in the source file, copy, click on a point in the recipient file, and paste and the objects paste relative to the click point.
There are obviously workarounds but each is an extra step compared to the above and involves a manual move of the data after placement or a temporary cessation of the user origin, both of which we would rather avoid.
