Hi Sometimes I miss the ability to copy and paste the position and rotation of a target in relation to it’s parent. Example: -Two identical fixtures - Each has a wobj and a robtarget wFixt1 and pFixt1 (and wFixt2 and pFixt2) - after modpos of pFixt1 in wFixt it would be nice to right-click pFixt1 and “copy target data” and then right-click pFixt2 and apply “Target data”. Maybe there is already another way of doing this? /David ---

Hmm can not get the snip to attach or insert… Had to switch to Chrome from IE to get it to work!!?? ---

You can select copy to workobject from context menu (when you right click on the target). ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/1X/f8dd1bea0b5a8459b94b92deeaa319200841202e.jpeg) . ---

Hello, Would be great to have “Copy to RAPID Format”. So you can paste formatted text in your RAPID code. ---

That’s a nice feature but I rarely use this because it creates a new target. In most cases I already have my program with e.g. pFixt1 and pFixt2 declared in RAPID code. ---
