Copy and Pasting Between Templates

[fthomas137]

Is is possible to copy and paste a sequence of commands between two different templates? If so, how? I did try with the ctrl key, but won't do it beyond the template.

I would like to know this too please..

use global variables.

Right click on the step or step branch you want to copy, click on copy.

Go to other template and paste it with right click. You need to right click on a step branch to paste it.

You can't paste it into an empty field (Developers pls make it possible in version 4).

you can't copy several action/steps at once... hope fully version 4 will solve this

1. Hold ctrl during whole process
2. Copy a few branches right button->copy (HOLD CTRL!)
3. Paste it where you need right button->paste(HOLD CTRL!)

You can, but there is no visual aid for that, you just can't see that you selected several branches/steps.

To select several branches or steps, just hold down the CTRL key ALL the time. Click on all branches or steps you want to copy. If you are ready, do a right click and copy branches/steps. THEN you can release the CTRL key. Paste it and you will see, there are several branches/steps

Sorry to sound like a dummy but what is the STRG key?

 

[player]

Sorry, i meant CTRL (Control).

In germany it's STRG (Steuerung).

Thanks Player.

Got to be honest, this procedure is still pretty tricky. I found that I had to create an empty holder to paste into and then the full sequence would paste across. This is something that definitely needs improvement going forward.
