Cut Objects

The command Cut Objects cuts the selection to the clipboard.

  • When you are working with a Frame, the command Cut Objects cuts the selected object from the Frame and places it onto the clipboard.

  • When you are working with a List, the command Cut Objects cuts the selected cell or range of cells of the list/table to the clipboard. From there you can insert it anywhere into the same or into other lists.

Click into the cell at which the range you want to cut starts and drag the mouse to the cell at which the range ends. The list grays the range of cells out and you may then Cut it to the clipboard. Note that Plant Simulation removes the cells you cut from the list and moves the following cells up. Click the row index to select an entire row of cells, click the column header to select an entire column of cells, which you want to cut, i.e., to delete from the list.

  • When you are working with a Method, the command Cut Text cuts the selected source code to the clipboard.

Instead, you can also click the object with the right mouse button and click the button on the mini toolbar above the context menu.

Note:

If the object you cut has derivatives, i.e., objects that were derived and inherit settings from it, 3D opens a dialog asking you to confirm that these derivatives will be deleted.
