Clipboard actions

The Cut command deletes objects from the model and places them in the Clipboard.

Note

• All selected objects are removed from your model and placed on the Clipboard. Object properties and location are stored with the object.
• When you Paste objects into Rhino, they are placed on the same layer they came from in the original model. If the layer does not exist, it is created when the object is pasted.
• In the command window, on the right-click context menu, only text from the command prompt, text edit boxes, or other applications can be cut, copied, or pasted.

The CopyToClipboard command copies selected objects to the Clipboard.

Note

• The object's Properties and location are stored with the object.
• If the objects are grouped, a new group is created from the copied objects. The objects are not added to the group from which they were copied.
• When you Paste objects into Rhino, they are placed on the same layer they originally had. If the layer does not exist, it is created when the object is pasted.
• Right-click the Paste toolbar button to paste objects on the current layer.
