| Right Mouse Button Context Menu: Clear Selection, Use Plane Origin as Handle |
Cut/Copy requires the selection of a paste handle relative to which the Paste will be performed. The paste handle is the location to which the cursor is attached while you are moving the image into position to paste. The basic sequence is:
Select the edges (and/or points) to be cut/copied.
Choose the one of the following right mouse button options.
End / Set Paste Handle, and specify the paste handle.
End / Use Plane Origin as Handle, the 0.0, 0.0 location of the plane will be used as the paste handle.
End / Use Default Paste Handle, the start of the first curve selected will be used as the handle.
This lets you select a set of items to copy to an internal clipboard, and leaves the originals in the sketch.
If Cut/Copy are used with preselection, the right mouse button is the same as after End / Select Paste Handle is chosen: (Clear Selection, Use Plane Origin as Paste Handle)
If Cut or Copy is exited without selecting a paste handle, a default will be used.
Dimensions to axis lines, origin point, or unselected items will not be processed. An attempt will also be made to preserve as many constraints on the selected items as possible. Note that Horizontal/Vertical dimensions and constraints are converted to the opposite in a 90° rotation at Paste time. At any other rotation angle, these dimensions and constraints will not be pasted.
