Cut, Copy, and Paste are grayed out
Cut, Copy, and Paste are grayed out for me. CTRL + C and CTRL + V do not work.
Box select does not work.
Can somebody think of a reason why these would be disabled?
Much thanks,

Hi and welcome to the forum!
I guess you still have an active task. To be seen by the Pencil near the text "Tasks".

A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

Re: Cut, Copy, and Paste are grayed out
Thanks Chris,
Yes, If I click the close button for the task or press the escape button then the sketcher closes and I can copy an item.
But I am watching a tutorial where the instructor is copying and pasting items with the sketcher open.
So I am wondering how to clear an active task while the sketcher is open.
Any advice would be apricated.
Also, thanks for the detailed tutorial.
I am working through it now.
