 Toolbar for Viewer called Edit consists of listed buttons:

  • Clone

  • Cut

  • Copy

  • Paste

  • Entity Transfer Options

Clone

 Available in Redline mode only.

It will clone selected spot or spots to you redline layer.

We can see three spots from Layer BRA are selected. Now after clicking on Clone button spots will be copied to user redline layer.

 

Private styles of spots will be preserved. But spots without private style will be inherit redline layer style.

 

Cut, copy and paste

Cut and Copy operations work on selected spot / group of spots. Paste operation allows inserting spot(s) cut or copied earlier into the same or different drawing.

Depending on context those operations are also available from context menu (right mouse button).



  • Copy operation is allowed for spot(s) selected from any drawing, independently of current editing mode. 

  • Cut operation copies and removes selected spots from drawing. For spots selected from overlay drawing, cut operation is allowed only when in Edit mode. 
    For spots selected from redline drawing cut operation is allowed only in Redline mode. 

  • Paste operation transfers spots from internal clipboard onto current active layer in current drawing when in Edit mode. 
    When in Redline mode they are pasted into user's redline layer.

Entity Transfer Options

  • Keep Layers (Paste)  USER-PARAM - Copied or cut spot/s will be pasted on same layers as original one/s regardless of chosen layer in Drawing&Layers toolbar.

  • Preserve Links (Paste) USER-PARAM - Copied or cut spot/s will be pasted with spot link preserved from original spot.
