    Why not just dupiclate that layer?  Then it appears in the same place as the original.  That is what I do.

    There may be other things on the layer and that would then require deleting everything else on it. Also, the function really should be working correctly, so it is better to find out the problem.

    Does the Paste in Place command work?

    Or use the layers panel, start to drag the object in the layers panel, then add Alt and Alt+drag to Duplicate it in place. (This does not mean stop looking for the solution, of course.)

    Which version, which system?

    Is it just the shortcut that does not work or does it also not work from the menu?

    Hi Monika,

    windows 7 pro, AI cc 22.1.

    It does not work by shortcut and by menu, infact when I click on the jpg and go to menu the "paste" line's locked and not clickable.

    Check if any of your objects or layers are locked.
