Okay, cool. But my issue is why didn't they make this work when pasting to another view? What do you guys use it for if you're pasting the same thing in the same spot in the same view? Hm.

Yes__A 'paste in the same place' is desired to do various tasks: LINEWORK_ - Extrusion_for drawing identical linework on different reference planes/lines.
- Blend_my fav, match the base linework with the top; viceversa... mathing one blend form with the another.
- Sweep_same paths... same profiles, different reference planes.
OBJECTS_ - Sometimes you want to copy something and attach it to another Reference Plane, and in order to do so you either remove the "Contstrants" or "Disjoin" >>but if you 'copy in same place' by using the "Zero" technique you can then alter the referencing plane without having to remove certain parametric properties i.e. having to re-draw the object to behave accordingly.
- To Reference other objects in space.

Ok, I feel a bit enlightened. Good examples. I'm going to make "work plane, work plane, work plane" my mantra.

Is there a quick way to paste in the same place from one view to another? This tip only works in the same view - as noted. Thanks-

Yes you can paste to the same place in a different view. <Ctrl+C> to copy to the clipboard, then open the view you want to paste into and use the Paste Aligned|Current View tool (I set the shortcut to be PS). In 2010 it's on the Modify tab, Clipboard panel. I forget where it is in '09. The Paste Aligned|Select Views/Levels tool is also very handy when you need the same thing in a number of different views.

I would like to add that you can use the ctrl c / ctrl v in places where the right click copy/paste is not available. For instance values in family parameters - formulas ...pasting text in the middle or anywhere in a text note.

Thank you for this information. I just added my keyboard shortcut (view panel / user interface / keyboard shortcuts) for "paste aligned to current veiw" as ctrl + shift + alt + V. So awesome!

Here is a work around group the items you want to copy and paste go to the view you want to paste in, the preview will come up move your cursor over the preview and now you can snap to exact same preview spot.

Thanks Guys,
I dont know why I never thought about adding my own shorcuts before hand. The Paste in Current view shortcut is a big help. Though the one suggested seems a bit long. Whenever a shorcut has more than three keys its probably easier for me to just click .
