Unable to Paste from clipboard in LV2012 Project Exploer.

Problem Description :
Unable to Paste from clipboard in LV2012 Project Exploer.  Unable to Copy and
Paste Shared Variables.  Receive LV error "Unable to paste the contents of the
clipboard to the selected item in the project."  I have created a new blank
project and created a new library.  I created one shared variable.  I can copy
variable to clipboard, but it will not paste back to library to create multiple
variables.  I'm able to copy from Project Explorer and paste to VI.

Hi Willie,

 

I was able to copy and paste them into Libraries and Block Diagrams for LabVIEW 2012 SP1, but not into any other part of the project, which makes sense to me up front.  Could you post a screenshot of what you're doing in 2011 so I can reproduce that on my end?

 

Thanks,
