Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete Markup on the Canvas

1. Paste Images on 2D Sheets

You can cut, copy, and paste markups within the same sheet, between sheets in the same DWF file, or between separate instances of Design Review. Cutting or deleting markups removes the markup from both the canvas and the Markups palette.

If no location is specified, pasting a copy of a markup (or a cut markup) without changing the canvas view, slightly offsets the pasted markup from the original. Specify a new location by clicking anywhere on a sheet.

Pasting markup can have some noteworthy and unexpected results.

If the markup object you paste is a dimension, the markup text (the measurement) reflects the scale and units of measurement of the sheet to which the dimension is pasted.
You cannot paste a markup copied from a 2D sheet on a 3D sheet, nor can you paste a markup copied from a 3D sheet on a 2D sheet.

Paste Images on 2D Sheets

Images can be copied from any Windows application and pasted onto an open 2D sheet in Design Review. (You cannot paste an image onto an open 3D model.) After pasting, the image remains attached to the mouse pointer until you click to place it on the sheet. Once placed, the pasted image is treated like any other drawn markup and listed in the Markups palette below the displayed 2D sheet as "Image 1". Subsequent pasted images are listed sequentially.

TipSelect pasted images and create your own custom symbol catalogs.
