what does "paste object on canvas" do

I can't get it to do anything?

It pastes an object onto the canvas, just like it says. The object has to be on the canvas, though. If it's off the canvas, it won't be pasted.

maybe I'm overthinking this, but

I still can't get it to work

I made a new cap, created a canvas object, created a sprite and moved it over the canvas

made a "start of layout" event that pastes the object to the canvas

and then moves the object to reveal the pasted object

nothing there

what am I doing wrong, or could you bust a cap so I can see?

thanks

It appears that "Start of layout" skips over it for some reason. "Always" works though.

Move with arrows.
