Copying and Pasting.

You may exchange information between ConceptDraw and other applications by using the Clipboard. The Clipboard is a temporary storage area, used by the system to transfer data between documents and applications. By using the Cut, Copy and Paste commands, you can copy onto the Clipboard selected text (when the text editing mode is on), or selected objects (when the text editing mode is off).

Cut and Copy

The Copy command creates a copy of selected objects or text and places it onto the Clipboard. To perform the command, click the Copy tool on the toolbar, or select Copy from the Edit menu.

Once there is some data on the Clipboard, it can be inserted into the same document, or other documents and applications.

Cut is a combination of two operations: Copy and Delete. It places selected items on the Clipboard, and then deletes them from the document. To perform the command, choose Cut from the Edit menu, or click the Cut button on the toolbar.

Paste

The Paste command inserts the contents of the Clipboard into the cursor position. Objects from other applications will be inserted as OLE-objects.

To perform the command, select Paste under the Edit menu, or choose the Paste tool on the toolbar.
