You can try adding the following options to the Virtual Machine's .vmx
configuration file.
isolation.tools.copy.disable = "TRUE"
isolation.tools.paste.disable = "TRUE"
Have a look at: Editing the .vmx file for your Fusion virtual machine (1014782)
Note: When editing the .vmx
configuration file the Virtual Machine should be shutdown, not suspended and VMware Fusion closed.
