Cut/Copy/paste
These commands cut or copy the selection and paste.
Requirements
Select objects and/or folders through the tree view or the 3D scene. Then cut or copy 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.
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.
Notes
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.
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.
Notes
Any object can be cut/copy/paste except the World Coordinate System (WCS) and a CloudWorx cloud.
Some objects may be linked to other objects in the project. In this case, copies must include all elements related to those objets.
Report Data must be copied with their respective folder in order to generate a valid report.
View Sets must be copied with the associated visible elements
