copy things in LT Spice

LT used to open multiple schematics in windows of one program
instance, and you could use the duplicate function to copy chunks
between schematics. Now it seems to open a new instance for each
schematic, and I can't copy bits between them. I must be doing
something wrong.

USe the Copy command (Little double document icon) then CTRL-TAB and
it will appear in the window you CTRL-TAB to.

OK, I'll try that. I tried the usual ctrl/c and ctrl/v, no luck.

Copy does seem to work IF you open two schematics in the same program
instance.

Actually, ctrl/tab doesn't work if there are two instances. I've just
got to be careful to not create two instances, which I did by
accident.

A double-click on the desktop icon is apparently always a fresh
instance, so nothing can be copied into it. A double-click of an .asc
file isn't.

There is no select/copy mechanism in LT Spice, no clipboard thing.

Umm, do you have some older version that does that?

Oh, yea. Just a single instance and open two schematics, then the
Copy, Ctrl-TAB works.

With more than one instance, I don't see how to copy either.

This text is in the help of BOTH IV and XVII:
Duplicate: Duplicate objects by clicking on them or dragging a box
around them. You can copy from one schematic to another if they are
both opened in the same invocation of LTspice XVII. Start the
Duplicate command in the window of the first schematic. Then make the
second schematic the active window and type Ctrl-V.


So it hasn't changed.

Cheers
