Other Edit Commands


Some of the commands in the Edit menu in the editors are affected when operating on objects that have endpoints with connected links.

Pasting an Object

If objects with endpoints are cut or copied, the endpoints and any existing links to the objects are saved in the clipboard.

When pasting (by using the ordinary Paste command) an object with an endpoint, but without connected links, the endpoint is pasted together with the object without further user interaction.

When pasting objects that also have links connected to their endpoints, the following dialog appears:

Figure 142 : The Paste dialog

Deleting an Object

If you delete an object that has links, the link information will be destroyed and cannot be restored. Therefore, when you want to cut or clear objects with links, a warning dialog will be issued where it is possible to cancel the operation.
