Description This command is used to place the current clipboard contents into the current document, as a vertical or horizontal object array.

Use After launching the command, the Setup Paste Array dialog will appear. Set up the various options as required (use the dialog What's This Help ? for information on the available options) and click OK.

You will be prompted to select a start location on the document, where the array will be inserted. Simply position the cursor at the desired location and click or press ENTER.

The array will be pasted at the chosen start location, using the reference point designated when Cut or Copy was used to add the object(s) to the clipboard.

Notes Enter positive or negative values for spacing, to determine whether the array will be pasted to the right or left respectively for horizontal placement, or upwards or downwards respectively for vertical placement.

The Design Explorer does not use the Windows clipboard for normal cut/copy and paste operations in schematic/schematic library documents. Instead, a separate internal clipboard is maintained for this document type. Also, the internal schematic clipboard is entirely independent of the internal clipboards used by the editors of other Design Explorer-based servers. You can only cut/copy and paste between or within schematic/schematic library documents.

While the schematic clipboard is normally independent of the Windows clipboard, there is some limited interaction. Text placed on the Windows clipboard can be pasted into a schematic Text Frame object.
