When I try to copy variables from one model to an other, this results in the variables being pasted as images instead of the variables with their equations. I'm using the new sketch layout.

I tried following the Copying and Pasting documentation, but it seems outdated for the new sketch layout, since a Choose Paste Mode dialog box didn't open.

Vensim 9.1.1, Windows x64, new sketch layout.

Are you copying/pasting between two instances of Vensim? That will result in an image as the clipboard does not support anything other than plain text and bitmaps.

If you have both models open in the same instance of Vensim, it should work without problems.

Right, I didn't get it needed be the same instance. Now it works, thanks!
