PASTEORIG — Paste to Original Coordinates

Pastes the copied objects at their original coordinates.

• Command: PASTEORIG · Global name: _PASTEORIG
• Ribbon: Home › Clipboard
• Menu: Edit

Pastes the copy at the same coordinates it had in the source drawing, without asking for a point. Use it to move objects from one drawing to another without shifting them.

Usage

1. Copy the objects in one drawing with COPYCLIP or CUTCLIP.
2. Switch to the target drawing (its tab or Ctrl+Tab).
3. Enter PASTEORIG or choose it in the Edit menu. The objects appear where they were.

Notes

• As with PASTECLIP, the layers, styles and blocks the objects use that are missing from the drawing are added.
• Pasting into the same drawing leaves an exact copy on top of the original.
• If the clipboard is empty, the command says so and ends.
