‘Edit’ ‘Paste’

Symbol: Shortcut: <Ctrl>+<V>

Pastes the content of the clipboard onto the current position in the editor window. In the Overview the command can only be executed when a correct structure results from the insertion.

With the Object Organizer the object is pasted from the clipboard.

Remember that pasting is not supported by all editors and that its use can be limited in some editors.

The current position can be defined differently according to the type of editor:

With the text editors ( Overview and The Editors) the current position is that of the blinking cursor (a vertical line) which you place by clicking with the mouse.

In the The Function Block Diagram Editor and The Ladder Editor editors the current position is the first network with a dotted rectangle in the network number area. The contents of the clipboard are inserted in front of this network. If a partial structure has been copied, then it is inserted in front of the selected element.

In the The Sequential Function Chart Editoreditor the current position is determined the selection which is surrounded by a dotted rectangle. Depending upon the selection and the contents of the clipboard, these contents are inserted either in front of the selection or into a new branch (parallel or alternative) to the left of the selection.

In SFC the commands Function Block or ‘Extras’ ‘Paste after’ can be used in order to insert the contents of the clipboard.

In order to copy a selection onto the clipboard without deleting it, use the command ‘Edit’ ‘Copy’.

In order to remove a selected area without changing the clipboard, use the command ‘Edit’ ‘Delete’.
