PROBLEM 1:
You want to paste aligned "current view" or "same place" but the options are greyed out. See attached.
PROBLEM 2:
You can Paste from Clipboard but you are having trouble pasting in exactly the same place. See attached.
SOLUTION:
Here is the trick... When using Paste from Clipboard, manually type in 0" ENTER (instead of the 4'-6" shown attached) and the object will land at the origin you were shooting for.
