Cutting deletes selected objects from the drawing and stores them on the Clipboard. The objects are now available to be pasted into other programs.
You can use the Clipboard to copy part or all of a drawing into a document created by another application. The objects are copied in vector format, which retains the high resolution in other applications. The information stored in the Clipboard can then be pasted in other programs.
Applications use different internal formats to store Clipboard information. When you copy objects to the Clipboard, information is stored in all available formats. When you paste the Clipboard contents into a drawing, the format that retains the most information is used.
