Copy selected points with their coordinates and their class names, identifiers or values to the clipboard. In the clipboard, the information is only available text format.

Subsequently, the copied points can be pasted as points into another point editor, as one segment into a segment editor, and/or into any other application which uses the text format (e.g. a word processor or a data base).

To copy:

Select one or more points, and:

• choose Copy from the Edit menu, or
• press Ctrl+C on the keyboard.

For more information on selecting points, see Point editor : Select mode.

Tips:

• To copy the active window including the window borders, title bar, menu bar and status bar as a bitmap to clipboard, press Alt+PrintScrn on the keyboard.
• From within a map window, you can copy (the displayed part of) a map as a picture to the clipboard; choose Copy from the Edit menu in a map window. Coordinate information will not be available however.
• You can use Windows' Clipboard/Clipbook Viewer to inspect the current contents of the clipboard. For more information, see the Windows Help.
