copy/paste position into text editor

Questions & Answers

Hi,

is it possible to copy paste the 3 position (x,y,z) in one time and paste it in editor like notepad ?
I always have to copy paste x, then y, then z :frowning:
I know about copy paste the whole parameters in another object but that is not related.

Thanks

Don’t think there’s a default way to do that. However, you could write an Editor script:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

// Adds MenuItems to Unity Editor for copy/paste selected transform's position
public class CopyPositionEditor : ScriptableObject {

	static Vector3 cachedPosition;

	[MenuItem ("Edit/Copy Transform Position %#c")]
	static void CopyPosition () {
		if (Selection.activeTransform != null)
		{
			cachedPosition = Selection.activeTransform.position;
			EditorGUIUtility.systemCopyBuffer = cachedPosition.x + ", " +
				                                cachedPosition.y + ", " + 
				                                cachedPosition.z;
		}
	}

	[MenuItem ("Edit/Paste Transform Position %#v")]
	static void PastePosition () {
		if (Selection.activeTransform != null)
		{
			Undo.RecordObject (Selection.activeTransform, "Paste Transform Position");
			Selection.activeTransform.position = new Vector3(cachedPosition.x, 
			                                                 cachedPosition.y, 
			                                                 cachedPosition.z);
		}
	}

}
