there is a simple workaround if you know the size of the original object:

Type mytype
	Field val:Int
End Type

Local m:mytype,k:mytype
Local convert:Byte Ptr
Local size:Int

m = New mytype
m.val = 10
convert = m
size = SizeOf(m)

MemCopy (Byte Ptr(k),convert,size)


Print k.val

Delay 2000


PS: I use this to copy type instances :)
