Copy & paste code?

If I have 2 copies of SU open each with a different component open, I was wondering how to copy and paste code from one component to another, it seems the normal method of highlighting, right click copy and paste function does not work.

example: ANIMATE(RotZ,0,120),ANIMATE(X,FrenchDoor!LenX,FrenchDoor!LenX-3)

It would certainly cut down on number of the typing mistakes on whats capitalized and whats not.

I think you can copy & paste formulas. You need to be in edit mode of the attribute, then select all using the mouse (or ctrl-a). The same applies when going to paste the clipboard - you need to have already created the attribute, and have the formula open for editing before selecting the formula and pasting.

It works! by using the old ctrl-c/ctrl-v operation.

highlight the code
ctrl-c to copy the code
ctrl-v to paste the code.
