Howzit,

Am I missing something here, where is the copy paste function. I’m running the latest pro version 3.2.0 and it’s not under the transform tab…

How can you cad without!?

Please show me…

Hi the way I do it is in the transform menu.  
Select an object and under the word transform select copy  
Hope this helps
