line-weight Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 If I select and copy/cut an object that's not within a certain group, and then go into that group, and "paste in place", the object is then inside that group but in the same position relative to the outside world as it was before. However, if I try and do the same but pasting into an Auto-Hybrid, then the object I'm trying to paste appears in some seemingly unrelated location and orientation, which is a bit annoying. Is there any way around this? Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I don't think there's a workaround. Auto-Hybrids have their own internal origins like Symbols. KM Quote Link to comment
line-weight Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 It's a bit of a pain because I sometimes want to "move" things into an auto-hybrid without their XYZ location changing. Or, draw something inside the AH but relative to geometry outside it. Quote Link to comment
ford519 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yes, this is a pain. How do we get this issue addressed? Quote Link to comment
line-weight Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 I've abandoned using auto-hybrids for this reason. Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 @line-weight Hi, You will find this is you paste in an object and you are not on the same design layer as the Auto-hybrid was on. If you really want to rework an autohybrid flip to an isometric view and ungroup and it comes back to to the original object. Dont ungroup in top plan otherwise you get the 2D only. Copying an autohybrid and un-grouping is good to get the 2D fill from the autohybrid. Quote Link to comment

I want to paste-in-place something that was previously outside the autohybrid, into the autohybrid. Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hi yes I paste in place in an auto hybrid but I make sure I am copying from same design layer and pasting in the auto hybrid and it's on the same design layer. Quote Link to comment

I'd like to see an example. Unless the objects you use to create the Auto Hybrid are perfectly symmetrical about the origin point so the resulting Auto Hybrid's origin overlays the document origin or you re-align the Auto Hybrid object after creation so its origin overlays the document origin you cannot successfully Paste In Place into an Autohybrid. It would be better if Auto Hybrids allowed the user to define their origin as part of the creation process, like you can for symbols. Kevin 2 Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Never really noticed that before, just copied in a pergola and it was higher z value and in this case if you double click to edit the paste in place falls apart... Stupid AutoHybrid! 1 Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 At the end of the day, Auto Hybrids have their own internal origin point but SHOULDN'T. It drives me batty. I believe there's another topic or two on these forums about this very problem. Quote Link to comment

line-weight Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 This problem seems even worse in 2018. Did a paste-in-place and it seemed to be completely messed up, not just correct but relative to a different origin. Even a normal "paste" made something weird happen. Quote Link to comment
