Multiple Clipboards

Does anyone else think it might be handy to have multiple clipboards available within PowerCADD?

Multiple Clipboards are almost as useful as multiple monitors, and not only for within PowerCADD. However, the great majority of clipboard managers don't work well with PC. Instead of showing an image of the PC object, they typically show a generic pdf filetype, making them useless for work with PC. The best one that did work well with PC was Chronos' iclipboard, but that was abandoned years ago by the developer, and stopped working with Mojave. The last compatible OS was High Sierra. The only other clipboard manager that I've found that works with PC is iClip, by Irradiated Software. Both the 32 bit version (5.2.5) and the 64 bit version (5.5) work well with PC, accurately displaying all PC items. Instead of enabling multiple clipboards within PC, I think the better route would be for PC to use the same standard system clipboard calls as every other app out there, so that PC works with more managers than only iClip, and we can have our choice of third party clipboard managers.
