If my memory serves me correctly, I'm sure that in acad2015 the copied object, while in the command (with mode set to multiple), would transparent the source object and give you a copy that itself was transparent until placed, whereby it would revert to the solid appearance of its source object (or whatever setting the source object had). Then the source object would revert to its display setting once the copy command was exited.
With 2016, only the move command does this, and even then, only with certain objects. The copy command seems to act the way the objects were displayed, mid-copy command, in acad2014.
Am I imagining things, or has anyone else notice any difference here?
I cannot compare the two versions as I refreshed my Win7 install before upgrading to 2016 suite.
