The Copy to Clipboard tool copies one or more elements to the clipboard. You can then use the Paste from Clipboard or Paste Aligned tools to paste copies of the elements in the drawing or in another project.
The Copy to Clipboard tool is different from the Copy tool. Use the Copy tool when you want to copy a selected element and place it immediately (for example, in the same view). Use the Copy to Clipboard tool, for example, when you need to switch views before placing the copies.

Paste the elements using either of the following tools:

Paste Aligned Elements.
