Here’s the kicker: I work in SolidWorks. I frequently use the measure tool and copy dimensions from an assembly to paste into a part sketch. It used to always work, but lately it hasn’t been reliable, pasting an empty string into the dimension entry instead. However, if I paste the copied text into Notepad first, then copy the text from Notepad, I can then paste it back into SolidWorks just fine.

try Ctrl+Shift+V
it pastes text without formatting
Amen to this. I have to use a Win machine for work and it’s absolutely bloody maddening. Ctrl-Shift-V always.
I’ll give that a go next time SolidWorks plays dumb. Right now it’s being nice.
Thanks for the tip!
I wonder if this is the change causing us all trouble. Did old control v do this?
