how can i copy paste objects from one place to another at their exact location.?? for example i cut a circle located near the left edge of a rectangle, i cut it and paste it into new layer but it gets pasted at a different location just like it happens in photoshop. i have to move it separately to the desired location.

arjun,

As CupertinoFruit says.

I use Ctrl/Cmd+F or Ctrl/Cmd+B to paste into the same position, front or back, hence my suggestion which applies to all versions.

to pasting to exact location in windows use: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+v

You should only need ctrl-shift-v to do Paste in Place. With Alt it becomes Paste on All Artboards.

arjun,

Are you saying that it gets moved when you use Ctrl/Cmd+F (to place it at the front in the current layer)?

I don't use ctrl+f. i use ctrl+x to cut it from current layer and then choose another layer [using layers pallette] and then paste it in it using ctrl+v

If you are on Illustrator CS6, you can use the Paste in Place command (under Edit menu) - shortcut is Cmd-Shift-V on Mac (Ctrl-Shift-V on Win).
