In previous versions of Illustrator, once I selected a different artboard and hit Paste in Place it would paste it into an identical X/Y location of that artboard. Now, it pastes it back to the artboard from which it was originally copied. I don't know why the team would choose to reduce the software like this. If I wanted to paste in place on the original artboard, I would have just selected the original artboard. What are my workaround options? I mass produce various versions of the same artwork for marketing purposes and this is a huge step back for my workflow.
Met1,
the principle is pretty simple.
If you want to accurately copy and paste in place on different artboards:
- Select/activate an artboard
- Select the objects you are going to copy on that artboard and make sure that the artboard is still selected
- Copy the selection
- Select/activate a different artboard (target)
- Paste in Place (or Front)
This way worked and still works reliably in older and in the most recent versions of Illustrator.
I'm sure that you and any other Illustrator use

No, Ton, I cannot provide a link.
Certainly there are more humane ways without any camp.
