Vectorworks is a software which mainly base on handling objects which are organized in so called classes.
The organization of Vectorworks-files (not like in Revit) but like in many other CAD and CAAD softwares (Autocad, Archicad for example) does base on a similar system. in both called programs (despite of the fact that classes are called there "layers" but at the end it's the same thing) a very important part of a project's organization does base on classes.
Due to the fact, that a) sometimes we find other studios who also work with vectorworks, which files we try to integrate or copy parts of them b) we sometimes optimize are class structure but want to access older files which base on older class systems, a system to copy and paste and match old drawings, models in newer class systems would be a great time and quality saver.
Here comes @GioPet's smartpaste into play. Somehow an integration of smartpaste (or a redesign as VW Plugin) could be an idea. Maybe it would be ok having it as a Vectorscript plugin actually would be fine (because imho there are many other issues which are more important (wall improvements, void-objects for Vectorworks for example)
however, we miss smartpaste since VW 2023 (aparently there are some problems in integrating it in 2023 and 2024...)
However, I would love being able to reuse smartpaste in VW2023 and 2024 and 2025 as soon as it's released, as well.

@Dominique Corpataux what do you think? 😉
