Copy/paste vector drawing creates bitmap

Postby Alorenzo » Wed May 18, 2011 5:52 pm

:tool_node:

Hi!

When I try to copy and paste a vector object, I get as a result a bitmap, as you can see in the image example. Why on earth? How can I avoid that?
If I duplicate, it duplicates correctly a vector graphic. But copy/paste is the only choice to bring the object a different window.

So, what can I do? Why does this happen and how do I solve it?

Thanks a lot

Alejandro

I am going to assume that you are on Mac OS, otherwise it's a new problem...

It's a known problem.
See viewtopic.php?f=22&t=3627#p17000
for how to deal with it.
