Copying between drawings

You can use the Clipboard to cut or copy entities from one drawing to another. Cutting removes the selected entities from a drawing and stores them on the Clipboard. Copying duplicates the selected entities from a drawing and places them on the Clipboard.

To cut entities to the Clipboard

Select the entities you want to cut.

To copy entities to the Clipboard

Select the entities you want to copy.

Anything that you can copy to the Clipboard can be pasted into a drawing. The format in which the program adds the Clipboard contents to the drawing depends on the type of information in the Clipboard. For example, if you copy IntelliCAD® 2001 drawing entities to the Clipboard, the program pastes them into the drawing as IntelliCAD entities. If you copy objects to the Clipboard from other programs, they are pasted into the current drawing as embedded ActiveX objects.
