Copying to the Clipboard
The Copy to Clipboard function copies objects within a
selection rectangle to the Microsoft Windows Clipboard
for use in other Windows programs. Electrical or
connectivity information is not copied to the clipboard.
This function is useful if you want to make a copy of your
schematic to include in another type of file, such as a word
processor file.
If the grid is enabled, the grid dots are copied to the
clipboard along with the schematic. If you don’t want the
grid dots copied, disable the grid before copying. See Grid
On on page 3-55.

1 Using a selection rectangle, select the area to be

The area is copied to the Windows Clipboard. The
copied area remains unchanged on the schematic.
