How does the script work?
When you make a copy, the object(s) are saved to a temporary file clipboard.max in a temporary folder.
When, you paste objects, the objects are Merge from the temporary file clipboard.max.
Therefore, you can paste objects after closing 3Ds Max or restarting your computer!

Why is CopyTo better than other?
The secret of this script is that it immediately saves a temporary file clipboard.max with the minimum version of 3Ds Max.
For example, you make a copy in 3Ds Max 2020, and the clipboard.max file is saved in the 2017 version.
Thanks to this, you can copy objects between different open windows and versions of 3Ds Max.

What is backward compatibility?
By default, 3Ds Max can save files three versions lower. This is a system limitation that the CopyTo script is also subject to.
This means that, for example, you can copy and paste objects from 3Ds Max 2020 → 2017 or 2016 → 2013, you catch the idea.
But at the same time, for example from 3Ds Max 2012 → 2020 will be inserted without problems!
From the minimum version to the maximum copy/paste occurs without problems. But from the maximum to the minimum, only three versions lower.
