How can I cut / copy / paste items between drawings?
The cut / copy / paste commands require some more action than in other applications. You have to specify a reference point when copying / cutting entities and you have to place the entities when pasting them. To copy something: – Choose the menu ‘Edit’ – ‘Copy’ with the mouse – Use the selection tools in the CAD toolbar at the left to select the entities you want to copy to the clipboard or simply click the entities you want to copy with the left mouse button. Entities that are red are selected and will be copied. – Choose the right arrow in the CAD toolbar at the left to confirm the selection. This is the button at the bottom of the CAD toolbar. It shows a black arrow that points to the right. – Now the CAD toolbar shows a selection of tools to specify the position of the reference point. For example you can choose the button ‘Snap to endpoints’ (left column, 2nd from the top). – Click with the left mouse button somewhere near the endpoint (or other identifying point) you want to use
