‘Edit’ ‘Cut’

Symbol: Shortcut: <Ctrl>+<X> or <Shift>+<Delete>

This command transfers the current selection from the editor to the clipboard. The selection is removed from the editor.

In the ‘Object Organizer’ Object Organizer this similarly applies to the selected object, whereby not all objects can be deleted, e.g. the ‘Edit’ ‘Replace’.

Remember that not all editors support the cut command, and that its use can be limited in some editors.

The form of the selection depends upon the respective editor:

In the text editors IL, ST, and declarations the selection is a list of characters.

In the FBD and LD editors the choice is a number of networks which are indicated by a dotted rectangle in the network number field or a box with all preceding lines, boxes, and operands.

In the SFC editor The Sequential Function Chart Editoreditor the selection is a part of a series of Step surrounded by a dotted rectangle.

In order to paste the content of the clipboard you use the command ‘Edit’ ‘Paste’ ‘Edit’ ‘Paste’. In the SFC editor you can also use the commands ‘Extras’ ‘Insert parallel branch (right)’ Function Block or ‘Extras’ ‘Paste after’ ‘Extras’ ‘Paste after’.

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