Hi Nick, actually what that says is "Select objects to copy".

You'll see it more clearly if you do a ctrl+c with nothing selected - it is for selecting objects to copy if there was nothing selected at that time.

If you already have some objects selected (kind of the normal case), then that stage is just skipped and the UI will only flash briefly on the screen.


Generally all MoI commands that work on a selection will prompt you for a selection if you run them with no current selection. That is to support "post pick" style selection for people who are more used to selecting objects after a command has started rather than before. Some programs like AutoCAD are set up primarily that way.
