Copying and Pasting Objects

You can copy objects from a drawing to the Windows Clipboard and paste the object into another Designer drawing or another Windows program.

Copying and pasting to the Clipboard is an easy way to move objects from one Designer drawing to another. You can also move drawings and text from Designer to many other Windows programs, or from a Windows program to Designer.

The Copy and Cut commands both move selected objects to the Clipboard.

The Paste command retrieves objects from the Clipboard and places them in your drawing. Before you can paste, you must copy or cut an object to the Clipboard. You can repeatedly paste the same object from the Clipboard until you cut or copy a new object to the Clipboard.

Use either CTRL+V or SHIFT+INS as a keyboard shortcut for the Paste command.
