Cut/Copy/paste

These commands cut or copy the selection and paste.

Paste to another instance of the application

• Data are not copied to the OS clipboard, both instances will communicate when pasting:

  • the source instance must stay opened while pasting.

  • the data must not be modified from cutting/copying until the end of the pasting. Modified objects will not be pasted.

  • both instances must be opened by the same software version.

  • commands must be closed in both instances when pasting.

  • Pasted data are temporary copied in the software temp folder while pasting: the paste will fail if this drive is full.

    Keep also in mind that duplicating data in two instances could make you also lack RAM.

• Data will be scaled at paste when source and target units are different.

• Default folders cannot be duplicated when they are pasted at the root level. Otherwise, they become standard folders. In other words, when you paste a default folder, it will be merged with the corresponding default folder in target instance.

Common behavior (Paste to the same instance/Paste to another instance)

• The paste operation must be done immediately after a cut or a copy.

• Pasted objects are:

  • either inserted at root level, if not specified.

  • or inserted in selected folder.

• Cut objects are sent to the Recycle Bin.

• Default folders are ignored when cutting.
