Copying Portions of Schematic from Another File or Project?

Hi Xcellsior,

if iam understand it right that is the idea:

  1. If you open KiCad and than from the project tool the Schematic editor it* is not there.
  2. If you open EEschema stand alone it* is there.
    it* = Filemenu -> new / open / open last used

the difference is so you can’t get into problems with the project syncing between eeschema and pcbnew i think…

best thing would be to change the copy and paste behaviour to just use the systems clipboard…
but i don’t know how difficult it is to do this for all possible operating systems.
on past it would be good to have a option to clear or use the clipboard content annotation and original position on the page… (something like Ctrl+V = paste - hang on the cursor for placing; Ctrl + Shift + V = past on original place; and defaults to clear annotation and with modifier Alt pushed use original annotation)

sunny greetings
