Question

Can't copy two or more guide lines and use the paste in place feature between artboards in Illustrator.

It would be nice if we could copy two guide lines or more and then using the paste in place between artboards. Right now you can use this option with one guide at a time. As soon as you select two guides and try to use the paste in place in another artboard, it does the pasting in the original artboard.

I'm also having this issue, even though it looks like it's been six years now that people have been reporting this issue...

Works for me.

Which version of Illustrator are you using?

I am using illustrator cc 21.1.0 and the computer I'm using it on is an iMac 2014 5k display running on version 10.12.5 of Mac OS.

I'm using that Illustrator version as well (on OS 10.12.3).

Just to clarify: You have – for example – artboard 1, artboard 2 and artboard 3. On artboard 1 you have multiple guides. You select them, copy them, then go to artboard 2 and hit Cmd-F to paste in front. The guides won't paste in front (or place) on artboard 2.

Does that apply or are you talking about something different?
