Copy

Function

Copies the graphics in the graphic selection rectangle to the clipboard.

Activating Procedure

Graphics are copied to the clipboard using the mouse, the Copy command on the Edit menu, and the graphic selection rectangle. The Copy command on the Edit menu is dimmed until a graphic selection rectangle is drawn, thus enclosing the desired graphics. The graphics selection rectangle is drawn by positioning the mouse pointer anywhere in the waveform strip area and dragging with the right mouse button until the rectangle encloses the desired graphics. When the right mouse button is released, the rectangle remains fixed in size on the screen. With the graphics rectangle drawn, the Copy command on the File menu is enabled and the enclosed graphics can be copied to the clipboard.

In the Edit menu click on Copy.

Choose Edit Copy (ALT, E, C).

Special Considerations

The graphic is copied to the clipboard in bitmap and device-independent bitmap (DIB) formats.
