      Hello,

      I would like to create a gateway between C4D and a Web application by using the clipboard.

      But in C4D, when I copy a mesh to the clipboard, it don't seems to be into the OS clipboard system (I don't see any data using a clipboard inspector like InsideClipboard). Can you confirm ?

        Hi @César-Vonc ,

        Cinema 4D uses OS clipboard to some extent, namely as you can see from the CLIPBOARDTYPE enum there's text and image clipboard options. For other Copy&Paste functions the built-in clipboard system is used, hence the OS clipboard stays untouched.

        Cheers,
        Ilia
