Clipboard

There are two clipboard handling modes: object mode and element mode. The object mode is default and handles points and lines in the group. The element mode handles file elements in the element list and is used with the Shift-key.

The vector data is stored to the clipboard using the application's own TDW-file format.

Raster files are stored as standard bitmap images and can also be transferred between raster image editors and viewers. Additionally, image coordinates are stored separately using ESRI World File format. Image position remains in transfer.

Objects

The default object mode can be used to move points and lines between file elements.

Cut (ctrl+X)

Copies points and lines in the group to the clipboard and removes them from the original file element.

Copy (Ctrl+C)

Copies points and lines in the group to the clipboard.

Paste (Ctrl+V)

Pastes clipboard contents to an active vector file. If the clipboard contains raster file, it is always pasted as a separate raster element.

Elements

The element mode can be used to move the file elements between application instances. Transferring the file through the clipboard is effectively same as saving it to the file system and loading to an other application.

Clipboard file transfer works also with Novatron 3D-Win application.

Cut (Ctrl+Shift+X)

Does same as Copy for the element list files. The file is not removed from the element list.

Copy (Ctrl+Shift+C)

Copies selected file contents to the clipboard.

Paste (Ctrl+Shift+V)

Pastes clipboard contents to a new element list file.
