Copy, Paste, Cut, Delete...

Copy, Paste, Cut, Delete, Undo and Redo

All objects in Active Takeoff will respond to the well known functions such as : Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete. These functions are found in the Ribbon of the Home tab and in the tool contextual menus.

Cut

The Cut function (or Ctrl-X on the keyboard) removes the object from the canvas but keeps it in the clipboard for an eventual Paste.

Copy

The Copy function (or Ctrl-C on the keyboard) creates an image of an object without removing it from the canvas and keeps it in the clipboard for an eventual Paste. This is the ideal function for duplicating objects.

Paste

The Paste function (or Ctrl-V on the keyboard) pastes one or many objects previously put in the clipboard by the cut or copy functions.

Delete

The Delete function (or Del on the keyboard) removes one or many selected objects from the canvas. The user is asked to confirm the action before deleting.

The Cut, Paste and Delete functions are reversible with the Undo function.

These functions are also found in all contextual menus :

The Undo function

The Undo function (or Ctrl-Z on the keyboard) reverts the last action to the previous action.

The Redo function

The Redo function (or Ctrl-Y on the keyboard) restores the last Undone action.
