on the toolbar, or select Copy from the Edit menu. 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.

Note: On the Macintosh platform
ConceptDraw uses the PICT format to exchange data with other applications.
Paste
The Paste command inserts the contents of the Clipboard into the cursor position.
Note: 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.

Paste From Clipboard
If the system Clipboard contains a PICT image or text, the content of the Clipboard can be inserted into a ConceptDraw document with the Paste From Clipboard command.
If there's text on the Clipboard, the text will be inserted into the object with primary selection (the one displaying green handles). When none of the objects is selected, a Text Box object will be created and the text will be pasted into it.
If there's a PICT image on the Clipboard, you'll be offered to either convert the image into ConceptDraw objects, or insert as a picture.
Paste Into Position
If there's a ConceptDraw object on the Clipboard, this command pastes the content of the Clipboard into the same position on a page as that from where the original object was copied or cut. It's particularly useful when you need to copy or move an object onto another page of the document so that it's placed in the same position of the page as the original object.
Note: For other applications'
objects this command works as the "Paste" command.
