The Copy command allows the user to copy an object to the clipboard, This can then be used later in the same drawing, an existing drawing, or a new drawing. This is different than the Copy Object(s) command which has different functionality.
The Copy command is selected from the Edit menu (Edit
Copy), or by selecting the Copy Icon
from the Edit toolbar, or by typing COPYCLIP into the program. Opus also supports the Windows shortcut of CTRL + C for copying selected elements.
You can use Copy in 2 slightly different ways. If Copy is chosen with no elements selected in the drawing, you will be prompted to select the objects that you wish to copy.
Select the objects you wish to copy and then right-click or press the Enter key to apply.
If the objects have been selected and the Copy command is chosen, then the objects will be copied immediately.
Cut objects are stored in the clipboard and can be pasted back into the same drawing, another development, or into a new drawing. The objects Copied will remain in the clipboard until replaced by another Copy command or a Cut command. Objects in the clipboard can be pasted into a drawing multiple times.
