Merging LTSpice desgns?

Yes I sort of figured that part but how do you dot it? I see no copy in LTspice. I do see a paste. Nor do I see a way to select the whole design.
Ctrl-C changes the icon to what looks like a couple of documents but I am not sure what to do with that and edit/paste does not get enabled.
Hi
Open both schematics.
Click anywhere on the "From" schematic.
Click the tool on the toolbar that looks like two documents. The cursor will change to "two documents".
Select the objects you want to copy. The objects will drag around with the cursor indicating the selected objects.
Click anywhere on the "To" schematic. The objects will then show attached to the cursor.
Click where you want to place the objects.
That's it!.

There is the Duplicate function which I guess is really copy but my paste never lights up.

Suggests you need admin access (for whatever reason) but I tried running as admin in windows 10 and still can't paste.

That did it. This is counter to what you do in Windows where you select first then copy. So I was missing the selecting part. I did see that double vision thing going on once but not sure how I did it. Thanks!
I'm running W7pro and this works for me:
1) Load file2.asc
2) Load file1.asc
3) Use COPY to select what you want from file1.asc
4) At this point you'll have two menu options; choose file2.asc.
5) Paste what you got from file1.asc into file2.asc.
I got it already. Thanks.
And there is no COPY. That is what is misleading about LTSpice. It is Duplicate.
What?
Steady there, my friend. Frustration is allowed with inanimate objects. LTSpice isn't going to need therapy because of Spinnaker's "bullying".
Indeed. Thank you for the reality check.
Saying that the copy routine is contrary to the way it is usually done in Windows is not "bad mouthing? It is an observation.
What should you care anyway? Do you work for linear? Have a lot of stock?

The initial question has been answered and the conversation has started to drift, making this a good place to end the discussion
