### 7.10.1. Copying to the clipboard and pasting

This is the simplest method of duplicating fragments of the project. The fragment to be duplicated may have its data already completed. Preferably it should be correct in formal terms (e.g. with internal connections made), as this facilitates further graphical editing of data.

¨ To duplicate a fragment using the clipboard:

1. Mark the components you want to duplicate. You can use all the techniques described in sections 4.8.3 to 4.8.6.

2. Select ”Edit / Copy” (Ctrl+C, ). The components will be copied to the clipboard as a module.

3. Select “Edit / Paste” (Ctrl+V, ).

4. Position the module in the required location.

5. Press the left mouse button. The module is now inserted.

6. You can insert subsequent modules by selecting “Edit / Paste” again or by selecting “Edit / Insert last item” (F3, ).

! When pasting, you can make use of the possibilities of the AUTO mode described in detail in section 4.6.4.

! Components copied to Windows clipboard can be pasted as drawings into other applications (e.g. MS Word®, Corel DRAW! ®, AutoCAD®).
