Copy with Insertion Point

Calling the command:

This command allows you to copy the selected elements to the clipboard with the coordinates of the point that will be used as the fixing point for subsequent insertion from the clipboard. The command call is also available from the context menu for the selected item (set of items).

If the command is called from the text menu, then the first necessary action will be the selection of elements. The following icons will appear in the automenu:

To select one element, it is enough to point at it with the mouse cursor, click , and then complete the selection with an option . To specify a set of elements, a window selection or sequential indication of the necessary objects is used by pressing the <Shift>+ keys. To exclude one of the items from the selected list, use the <Ctrl>+ keys. You need to confirm the selection using the option .  

If the command was called from the context menu, then the selection of items to copy is not required and you can immediately specify the insertion point.

To specify a point in the automenu, the following options are available:

You can use an existing node or an arbitrary drawing point as the fixing point. If the object snapping mode is enabled (), then it is enough to move the cursor to the necessary point (if you point to a node, it will light up) and click . Object snapping when selecting a point works the same way as in the Sketch command. Options or is convenient to use when working without object snapping.

If you select the option, the exact values of the point coordinates can be set in a separate Position window after clicking in the drawing field.

The result of this command is to write the selected elements and points to the clipboard. When the Paste from Clipboard command is called, this point will be the fixing point of the copied elements.
