Step-by-step instructions :
1 . Before invoking Copy :
1a : In Select Items mode, use Select or Select + (or draw an area box ) to select the graphic objects (lines, circles, labels, etc.) that you want to Copy (they change color when selected). Use Select- if you want to deselect objects.
Tip: The selection count decoration shows you the number of objects you have selected.
2 . Invoke Copy using any one (1) of the following methods:
Method 1 : Click the Copy icon. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Edit ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).
Method 2 : If " Drawing Editor layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Edit > Copy .
Method 3, 4 or 5 : Copy can also be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , the context menu , or a mode . For the ' Lightning ' layout style, configuration of the interface is done using Customize Interface .
Method 6 : In Select Items Mode , right-click ( Menu ) and choose " Copy " on the context menu .
3 . A copy of the selected objects is maintained in memory so long as you do not Copy or Cut or Copy with Reference Point or Cut with Reference Point another group of objects.
Note: If you Copy a group of graphic objects, then use Ctrl + c to cut text in an entry window, each copy is stored in memory independently. This means that if you then use Paste in your drawing, the copy of the graphic objects will be pasted, not the copy of the text.
