  24. <h3>Description</h3>
  25. <p>QCAD offers a set of tools to copy entities from one drawing to another,
  26. similar like other applications.</p>
  27. <h3>Usage</h3>
  28. <div>
  29. <ol>
  30. <li>Use the selection tools to prepare a selection of entities you want to
  31. copy to the clipboard.</li>
  32. <li>Choose the copy tool.</li>
  33. </ol>
  34. <p>The standard copy tool of QCAD acts like the copy tool of other
  35. applications. It does not allow you to choose a reference point for your
  36. selection but instead computes the reference point automatically at the center
  37. of the selection. This is not always desirable as you most likely want to place
  38. the pasted entities at a precisely defined position. For this, QCAD offers and
  39. alternative, more CAD specific copy tool:
  40. <a href="../../CopyWithReference/doc/CopyWithReference_en.html">Copy with
  41. Reference</a>.</p>
  42. <p>The selection is now on the QCAD internal clipboard and can be pasted into
  43. the same or a different drawing that is opened with the same running instance
  44. of QCAD. Note that if you quit the QCAD application, the contents of the
  45. clipboard is lost. The QCAD clipboard can only be accessed by QCAD itself. You
  46. cannot exchange drawing entities with other applications through copy and
  47. paste. Please use the export and import functionality of QCAD for this.</p>
