Paste texts with fields to other layouts without losing fieldcode
« on: September 04, 2022, 10:17:06 PM »
While attempting to copy/paste a fielded texts to other layouts by CtrlC+CtrlV, it seemed that the fieldcode will be missing after pasting the text. Is there a way to maintain/restore the fielecode links without programming?

A field can store data internally that may not be shown in the fieldcode, so it depends on the field.

I use the change space from express tools to move from layout to modelspace or modelspace to layout, works for AC2015.
In your case you would need to use it twice.

One interesting thing I have found with this method, the field and the object being read do not need to be in the same space, if just the text is transferred.
