Copy/Paste multiple models + Paste Location #2389

I often find myself creating an arrangement of multiple models, like stacks of presents, floods around a tree, a pair of snowflakes, etc. Then I select that group of models and Copy/Paste, but it just pastes a single model, I assume the last or first one of the group that was selected.

Unless there's a good reason against it, I feel like copy/paste should work on your entire selection.

Another minor inconvenience to the paste function has to do with the location where it pastes the model. Pasting it close to the copy target is fine if that target is on the screen, but if you scroll over to another area of your layout and hit paste, you'd be surprised to not see the paste happen, because it created the object offscreen. In this case, it would be nice for the paste to occur on screen. Programs such as Adobe Illustrator always paste your object onscreen and not at a fixed position.

Thanks for the consideration!

I second this feature request. When working with large displays, it would save hours of work.
