Copy paste problem in LibreCAD-v2.2.1.3

I just install LibreCAD-v2.2.1.3 and copy paste works not expected. Pasted objects always much smaller than original. I downgraded to LibreCAD-v2.2.1.2-14 and its working as usual.

To reproduce just draw a circle and try to paste it to the same drawing.

Thanks.

I will look into this one.

Looks like 2.2.1.4 is expected sooner than expected.

hi onur,

could you provide detailed steps to reproduce this issue?

Tools > Modify > Move/Copy works smoothly here.

hi dxli,

Sorry, I should have done that in the first place. You're right. MOVE/COPY command works correct. I was using Copy(CTRL+C) and Paste(CTRL+V) from Edit toolbar.

I'm new to CAD and LibreCAD, so sorry if this is a rookie mistake.

Ctl-C/Ctl-V needs some fixes.

@sand1024, just wondering whether you can look into this one.

2.2.1.4 should be released after this one is fixed.

Normally Copy(CTRL+C) current object, use can move (even to different application), and Paste(CTRL+V).

First impression feedback is great, obviously regular users can't do it.

I have fixed Ctl-C/Ctl-V in 2.2.1 the branch. The 2.2.1.4 release is expected soon.

Hi Dongxu Li,

I've test this release, and still get much smaller copy of the original object.

Version: v2.2.1.3-4-g35be9afde
Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++
Compiled on: Jan 24 2026
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Boost Version: 1.87.0
System: Windows 10 Version 2009

Still not working on latest release on windows.

I see the same issue using

Version: v2.2.1.4-5-g5e3134ab8
Compiler: GNU GCC 13.3.0
Compiled on: Mar 18 2026
Qt Version: 5.15.13
Boost Version: 1.83.0
System: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS

But it is only a problem when 'Main Drawing Unit' is set to 'Inch', and using CTRL+C ... CTRL+V.
Seems the pasted entities are reduced by a factor of 25.4....  that number rings a bell :-)



Furthermore if the selected entities are in multiple layers, they are all merged in to one layer (the current) when pasting, regardless of the Main Drawing Unit settings. I don't know if the is the intended behaviour.

For reference (Kubuntu 24.04 LTS)

Version: 2.2.0-undef
Compiler: GNU GCC 13.2.0
Compiled on: Apr  8 2024
Qt Version: 5.15.13
Boost Version: 1.83.0
System: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS

Doesn't have any of the above two issues. It will scale correctly and preserve all layers, even when pasting into another document, same session.
