Did the paradigm change or am I missing something?

You're missing something...

from the 6.0 release notes:

• COPY command:

- In older versions of EAGLE the COPY command was used solely to copy 

objects

within a drawing, as opposed to the Windows behavior, where COPY places a

copy of the selected objects (i.e. the GROUP) into the system's clipboard.

As of version 6, EAGLE's COPY command primarily behaves the same way as in

other Windows applications, by putting a copy of the current group into the

clipboard. The original functionality of copying selected objects, or

copying library objects between libraries, is still fully available, which

is especially important to keep existing scripts and ULPs working.

What has also often irritated Windows users is that in EAGLE the CUT

command has only copied the current group to the clipboard, but did not

actually delete the group from the drawing. Since a CUT command that

deletes the group would not be of much use in a board/schematic pair that

is connected via forward-&backannotation, the CUT command has been

removed from the main pulldown menu and the command button toolbar. It is

still fully available from the command line or within scripts. The command

SET Cmd.Copy.ClassicEagleMode 1

restores the old behavior of both the COPY and the CUT command. Note that

this setting only takes effect the next time you open an editor window.

- Added a note to the online help of COPY about how to copy objects from

one schematic sheet to an other.

Richard,

Thanks! I was able to get it to work with your help. I think I will keep EAGLE configured the way it is. Definitely makes more sense, teaching the cut command was always an inssue for new users.

Joe
