Copy paste where you want in the work area

Status: Implemented Submitted by on ‎12-27-2018 06:57 AM

I often copy/paste chunks of workflow and paste it into the same workflow (or a different one).  It always seems to paste just diagonally below the upper most left Tool.  This creates a real mess.  I'd like to be able to select a small area within the work area and have the chunk of workflow I'm pasting drop there - instead of on top of the existing build.

If you right-click on the area you want and select Paste, does it not paste where your cursor is?

Thank you for this suggestion! The tool paste functionality was improved in 2019.3, and since that release you can paste tools at the location of the cursor.
