PASTECLIP — Paste

Inserts the contents of the clipboard.

• Command: PASTECLIP · Global name: _PASTECLIP · Shortcut: Ctrl+V
• Ribbon: Home › Clipboard
• Menu: Edit

Pastes into the current drawing what was copied with COPYCLIP, CUTCLIP or COPYBASE. The pasted objects are ordinary, independent objects, with their layers and styles.

Usage

1. Press Ctrl+V or enter PASTECLIP.
2. Specify the insertion point. While you move the cursor, the outline of the copy is shown.

Specify insertion point:

3. The objects are placed with their base point at the specified point.

Notes

• You can paste several times in a row: pasting does not empty the clipboard.
• The layers, linetypes, styles and blocks the objects use that are missing from the drawing are added with them.
• If the clipboard is empty, the command says so and ends.
• To paste at the same place they had, use PASTEORIG; to paste as a single block, PASTEBLOCK.
• Ctrl+V only acts with an empty command line and no active command; in a text box it pastes the text.
