Use the Copy To Clipboard or Copy Value To Clipboard commands on the list view context menu to copy the contents of an item view or single cell value to a file for editing or printing.
The Copy To Clipboard command copies a tab-delimited list of all the selected items in the list view, including the column headers, to the Windows clipboard. You can then paste the information into an Excel spreadsheet or a text file.
The Copy To Clipboard command copies all displayed columns, including columns without values. It does not copy hidden columns.
The Copy Value To Clipboard command copies the contents of the cell that your mouse is currently hovering over as a raw text (floating point) value.
For example, if you use this command to copy station data displayed as 2+00.00 in the list view, the value is copied to the clipboard as 200.00.
Each value is copied with the same precision used to display the value in the list view. You can change the precision of some values using the drawing and feature level settings. For more information, see Understanding Civil 3D Settings.
