PASTECLIP (Command)

Pastes objects from the Clipboard into the current drawing.

Access Methods

Menu: Edit > Paste.

 Shortcut menu: With no command active, right-click in the drawing area, and click Clipboard Paste
 Command entry: Cmd-V

Summary

If the Clipboard contains ASCII text, the text is inserted as a multiline text (mtext) object using the MTEXT defaults. A spreadsheet is inserted as a table object.

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. You can also use Copy and Paste to transfer objects between drawings.

Note: If the cursor is in the drawing area, PASTECLIP behaves as described. If the cursor is at the Command prompt, text from the Clipboard is pasted at the current prompt.
