Cut, Copy, and Paste Objects

Use the GeoVista Print Layout Tool's Edit menu or Main toolbar to remove or add objects to your print layout.

These tools work the same as in other Windows-based software programs.

All items on the print layout are individual objects that you can select and edit. As well, you can copy objects from the print layout to another program, or vice versa. The following explains how to use these tools.

Copy - Select an object, and then select Edit | Copy to copy the object to your Windows clipboard. Once on the clipboard, you can paste a copy of the object back into your layout or into another program (For example, a Word document or a graphics program). With copy, the original object remains in its location, and a copy of the object transfers to the clipboard.
Cut - Select an object, and then select Edit | Cut to transfer the object to your Windows clipboard. Once on the clipboard, you can paste the object back into your layout or into another program. With cut, the object moves to the clipboard and no longer displays in its original location.
Paste - Click on a location in the layout, and then select Edit | Paste to copy the current clipboard object into your print layout. This object might be one that you originally cut or copied from the layout, or it can be an object you copied from another program.
