Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete 

These are standard functions you find in all programs and provide some simple yet useful actions: 

  • Cut means that selected items will be deleted from the drawing and put in memory for later use; 
  • Copy means copying the selected items to memory, without removing them from the project; 
  • Paste lets you insert items stored in memory; 
  • Delete is used to erase selected items from a project. 

Objects copied from HighDesign are not stored in the system’s clipboard, but rather use an internal copy and paste method, so that the system clipboard is available for images and texts. 

The Paste command opens a dialog with options that allow to choose the source from which to paste the objects, whether the system clipboard or the HighDesign clipboard. Other options include the location of the pasted object and the destination layer.
