I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you want to set the same block in multiple places in layer one?
I don't use the control v, I just use the block set tool on the right hand side in layer 1. Once you select your block in your sketch book, you just use the mouse and left click the layout block you want to set your block in. If you hold down the control key and left click, it will set the block in all the layout squares in layer one.
