Pasting From the Buffer

See also: Copy Elements to Buffer

You can paste drawing elements that have been cut or copied from one plan into the current plan, or a different plan.

 

The Paste button (it's grayed out in the picture above) comes alive when one or more drawing elements have been selected and copied.

 

  • Click the Paste button to cause the saved elements to be placed into the plan, selected and ready to be moved into place.
  • Place the cursor over the new selection and the cursor turns into a "Move" cursor (four headed arrow).
  • Press the left mouse button and move the selection
  • Release the mouse button to anchor the selection and cause it to be drawn in the new location.

 

Repeat the above until the position is correct. 

 

 

To end the moving process Do one of the following:

  • Double click on a blank area of the drawing
  • Press Escape
  • Select another drawing tool.
