(Shortcut) : Ctrl+X

Description This command is used to clear the selected object(s) from the current document and copy them to the CAMtastic Editor's clipboard.

Use After launching the command, the cursor will change to a square and you will enter cut mode. You will be prompted to select objects to include in the cut. Simply position the cursor over an object you wish to include in the selection and click. Clicking away from an object allows you to drag a selection area, for including multiple objects in the selection. Selection is cumulative.

Continue adding objects to the selection and then right-click to effect the cut and exit cut mode. The selected objects will be cleared from the workspace and copied to the CAMtastic Editor's clipboard.

Notes Objects copied to the clipboard using this command cannot be pasted into the same document from which they were cut.

The command can be canceled at any stage before the right-click by pressing ESC.

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