Copy and paste

All my life I was working in CorelDraw and I used to some features that probably don't exist in Illustrator, but I'll try to explain my pain.
In CorelDraw when you have file with multiple pages, you can select object or some objects on one page, copy then and paste on the another page. And you will paste them on the same, exact place, but just different page. It's useful if you have to do same changes on different pages. But in Illustrator it just pastes on the middle of the screen. I don't even know when this way of pasting can be usefull.
Same thing with indesign.

In Illustrator, what you want is Paste in Place (you can also use Paste in Front or paste in Back).

Paste in Place is also in InDesign.

Hi Jaroslav,

One possible way:

  • copy your drawing
  • activate the desired artboard (e.g. in the artboard panel)
  • use [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[V] to paste at original position

In InDesign, however, you should consider the placement left side to left side - right side to right side.
