3. Select one or more objects.
4. Click the selected object and drag it to the new display.
If you selected several objects, dragging one of the objects copies all the selected
objects. The objects maintain their position relative to each other.
Copying and pasting objects
You can cut, copy, or paste objects using the menu items on the Edit menu or the buttons
on the toolbar.
Once you cut or copy an object, you can paste it anywhere in the drawing area of:
 The same graphic display.
 A graphic display in the same or a different application.
 A graphic library in the same or a different application.
To cut or copy objects
1. Select one or more objects.
2. From the Edit menu, select Cut or Copy, or click the Cut or Copy tool on the
Graphics toolbar.
 To remove the original object, click Cut.
 To retain the original object, click Copy.
To paste objects
1. Click in the display, or library to paste to.
2. From the Edit menu, select Paste, or click the Paste tool on the Graphics toolbar.
Duplicating objects
When you duplicate graphic objects in a display, you also duplicate actions.
For example, if you duplicate an object, move it, and then duplicate it again, the second
duplicate action copies and moves the object, in one step. This is useful for creating a
series of objects with an equal distance between them.
When an object is duplicated, any animation attached to the object is also duplicated.
If an object group is duplicated, the new copy of the group can be ungrouped into
individual objects. For more information about grouping objects, see page 16-19.
