Title: Stupid question from a new-ish user...
Post by: BADASSLOUMD on August 24, 2020, 09:59:22 pm
Ok, what am I missing here?
I am running kicad  Eschema 5.1.5-3  Win-10 and I am trying to
cut-and-paste from one schematic to another schematic (two
separate files, trying to start one project from another).

 I have tried opening one file,  select block control c,
but the paste  option remained grey'ed out.

I have tried selecting a block and then going right-click
"copy block" but again in the new schematic, there is no
option for paste.

   Surely I am doing something wrong, as there is no way
they would not have cut-and-paste working, but simulation
is a "go" ??

I had the same problem on Windows 7.  I could copy anything on first page to first page, but Paste was Greyed out on second page.

I like to say I've solved it, but it may have issues.  (Third time I've posted this).  Open up both schematics fresh.

Make sure you File Open second schematic from first.  And use Paste on Toolbar.
