Drawing Tree: General Popup Operations

Right-click one or more selected items in the tree to access the General Options popup submenu:

  • Cut - Removes the items from the tree. The removed item is grayed-out (indicating that it was removed) until it is pasted in its new position.

  • Copy - Copies an item and stores it for pasting to a new location (on the same sheet, a different sheet or a sheet in another file).

  • Paste - Pastes the copied/cut item in the new location (on the same sheet, a different sheet or a sheet in another file). If the new location is invalid, an error message appears. Pasting a figure with an identical name to an existing view will change the new figure name.

    • From graphic area: Paste a graphic figure (view, sketch, etc.) on the graphic area by picking the new position on the graphic area, right-clicking and selecting paste from the popup submenu.
    • From drawing tree: Click the figure itself (sheet, view, etc.), right-click and select paste; the figure is positioned at delta relative to the original position.

  • Delete - Deletes the item from the tree. The deleted item cannot be restored (Undo option not available). You can also use the delete key on the keyboard.

  • Rename - Renames the active leaf or branch. A single view, sheet, or frame selected in the tree can be renamed by pressing F2 on the keyboard. 

Notes:

  • The Move, Copy and Paste operations can only be performed on an updated sheet.

  • If a view is pasted to a file with different units defined, all the data will be translated to the units defined in the target file.

  • If a section view is copied to another file, it does not keep its connection to the original section line.
