Illustrator Paste In Place to Current Artboard

[FoxCadet]

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.

Kurt is right, you need to select the part of the object that is inside the artboard and thereby select its artboard. Copy and click on another artboard and paste in place works.

I selected the artwork by clicking on a part that was outside the artboard and that means trouble.

Ton, that's the reason why I recently had to go to a boot camp to learn how to accurately select artboards in Illustrator.

Whenever I failed to select them I had to do 50 knee bends.

Still suffering from sore muscles.

Kurt, you certainly learned it the hard way.

Can you give a link to that boot camp so we can refer to it when needed?

[Kurt Gold]

No, Ton, I cannot provide a link.

Certainly there are more humane ways without any camp.
