Cutting, Copying, and Pasting Drawing Objects

You can cut, copy, and paste drawing objects in different areas of the current drawing or place them in a completely different drawing.

To cut, copy, and paste drawing objects:

1. Click the Select tool and select the drawing objects you want to cut or copy.

2. Decide if you want to create a copy of the object or if you want to remove it.

Select Edit > Copy Drawing Object to copy the selected object.
Select Edit > Cut Drawing Object to cut the selected object. The original object disappears from the View window.

3. Select Edit > Paste Drawing Object to place the copied object in the View window. The pasted object appears slightly offset from the original.

4. If you want to create a new drawing from the selected object, select another cell in the Exposure Sheet window or frame in the Timeline window, and reselect the View window before you paste the object.


	If you just want to make a copy of the selected objects, press [Option] and drag the select objects. Text and drawing objects can be selected simultaneously, however drawing tools will have no effect on the text. To convert text into a drawing object, use the Break Text Apart command (Tools > Break Text Apart).
