Cut an Element to the Clipboard

  • Cut in the assembly model the selected parts or assemblies
  • Cut the feature selected in the part model
  • Cut the geometry selected in the sketch
  • Cut the geometry selected in the drawing

As an example, Drawing.

  1. Select elements in the drawing.
  2. On the tab, in the Clipboard group, select Cut.
  3. Click a reference point.

    Paste from Clipboard

In Context-sensitive Menu

Cut the selected elements on the clipboard by context-sensitive function Clipboard> Cut. This function will replace the content last copied on the clipboard.

In a sketch all the constraints determined for the elements will also be cut. If one of the elements copied has a constraint affecting an element that is not copied, the constraint will not be copied. Any geometric constraints determined for the part will not be copied in the assembly.

Cut elements as follows:

  1. Select the single or several element in the drawing.
  2. Do either of the following:
    • Select the context-sensitive menu function Clipboard> Copy.
    • Press Ctrl+X.
  3. If you are cutting elements in a drawing, click also a reference point.
Note:
  • You can select a reference point for the cutting element in the drawing and use it to position the copy. You cannot select a reference point in a model sketch.
  • You can paste the elements on the clipboard to the new location by selecting the Clipboard> Paste. You can paste elements cut from a drawing only within the same drawing.
  • You can also move elements within the same drawing by selecting the Move function from the context-sensitive menu. You can also move individual elements by dragging from the handle.
