3 - 3   Using the Edit Menu

You can duplicate frames, text, and geometries with the copy and paste commands in the Edit menu. (You can also use the keyboard equivalents, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V.) You can also cut objects from one location and paste them into another, or throw them away completely (by choosing “Clear” from the Edit menu).

note00057.pngThe Cut, Copy, and Paste commands work only within Tecplot RS. Choose “Copy Plot to Clipboard” from the Edit menu to copy a Tecplot RS plot for external use. You can then paste it into other applications.

Cut Choose “Cut” from the Edit menu, or press Ctrl-X, to remove the selected item from the plot and the active data set (if applicable), and store the removed item in Tecplot RS’s memory for pasting within Tecplot RS.

Copy Choose “Copy”, or press Ctrl-C, to store the selected item in Tecplot RS’s memory for pasting within Tecplot RS.

Paste Use the “Paste” command in the Edit menu, or press Ctrl-V, to add the most recently cut or copied item to the active frame. If you are pasting a copied object into the same frame as the original, Tecplot RS will position the new object directly over the original. Use the Selector or Adjustor tool to move the copied item to a new location in the frame.

• Clear With the “Clear” command in the Edit menu, you can remove the selected item from the plot and the active data set. Tecplot RS does not store cleared items in its memory for pasting.
