I'm working on documentation but as I'm making some gui changes for 1.5 I decided to wait with it until those are done in order to prevent having to rewrite again.
As for the copy paste options those can be seen as import/export options as it allows some control over the LDraw lines coming in or going out of LDCad.
Copy paste inside LDCad itself should only be really necessary when copying between two models, in almost any other case it is more efficient / easier to use the ins key on the selection to (silently) clone it.
As for those two options:
The dialog will only appear if an option is relevant to the current copy/past action and some needed option has currently a yes/no value. So to get rid of the options all together you could set all options to either always or never.
Hope this make things more clear.

Quote:the main line is not the first, move it to the topWhen selecting parts, the first one selected is the mainline of the selection and acts as it's center point. When copying to the clipboard the resulting LDraw lines are taken in the placement (.ldr/.mpd line) order. This option can be used to force the selection main item to the top of the resulting LDraw list so other software automatically also use that line as the center (it being the first in the text and all).
Quote:there is non zero work orientaion activeLDCad remembers the orientation of the last selection and applies it to new parts so you don't have to rotate e.g. every 2x4 brick to make a wall in a certain direction. But when pasting something this extra rotation is not always wanted therefore you are given the option to override it.
