      That would be a serious flaw. I've copied Groups in that way many time without trouble (that I know of.)

      First thought is usually "Who's plug-in has changed the default behaviour?" and my reply is "Hopefully, not one of mine!"

      Hi

              So, to recap: it seems that SketchyPhysics in some recent form messes with group.copy ???

              The file c:\windows\SKPLib80U.dll is only referred once on the net within a Trojan test...
              It might be a SP lib ?
              Don't know what it is at all ?
              When do you get the error - when starting SUp ??

                yes the error was starting SU but i went into preferences and re-enabled all the plugins and it went away. 😄

                  Searching the code for SketchyPhysics, I don't see it as being the culprit. I've notified Chris to see what he thinks.

                    I've looked too and can't find anything... there is group.definition and various extra group methods, but none that should clash - weird or what ?
                    Xrok1 found that with SP installed, he couldn't get group.copy to work at all it kept returning Nil ! BUT after un-installing SP it all worked OK...

                      Could be an observer interfering?

                        i even reinstalled then uninstalled SP twice to confirm. here is the offending version, i saved a copy for just such skepticism. 😉
