Paste Objects

The command Paste (Objects) pastes the contents of the clipboard into the Frame.

  • When you are working with a Frame, the command Paste pastes the contents of the clipboard into the Frame at the position of the mouse pointer.

  • When you are working with a List, the command Paste pastes the contents of the clipboard into the list/table. Provided both lists have the same structure, you can insert part of a copied list into another list. Plant Simulation pastes entire rows or columns as a whole and does not touch adjacent rows or columns.

  • When you are working with a Method, the command Paste pastes the contents of the clipboard at the position of the cursor.

  • When you are working with the Icon Editor, the command Paste pastes the copied icon from the clipboard.

When you selected an object in 3D, the subcommand Multiple Paste is activated.

When you click the Paste button or select the menu command Paste on the context menu, 3D pastes the object to the coordinates retrieved from the object in the clipboard. The command pastes the object into the opened object, regardless of the selection.

For objects 3D might change the position, i.e., the coordinates, at which the object from the clipboard will be pasted, depending on the position at which other objects are located at:

  • When any other object is already located at the destination coordinates of the object on the clipboard, 3D pastes the copy using the offset you enter under Offset in the dialog Multiple Paste.

  • When another object is located at the position determined by the offset, 3D repeats the offset until no object is located at the destination. To move the object to the location of your choice, click it and drag the mouse.

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