When SIS graphics are copied to the clipboard, a record is made of their position relative to the current axes position. When the graphics are pasted, they are placed so that they have the same spatial relationship to the axes position at the time of pasting as they had to the axes at the time they were copied.
Graphics are pasted onto the overlay from which they were copied if it is editable. If it is not, a new internal dataset is created and the graphics placed here.
To copy large datasets within SIS, or to copy items between coordinate systems, use Replicate [Edit-Clipboard] instead of Copy [Edit-Clipboard] and Paste [Edit-Clipboard].
The clipboard is useful for copying or moving items from one overlay to another.
Copying non-editable data to the clipboard (such as Ordnance Survey data), then pasting it to an editable overlay, provides an editable copy of the data.
The contents of an entire overlay can be copied to the clipboard, then pasted back, using the Copy and Paste buttons in the Edit drop-down on the General tab of the Overlays dialog.
Use Paste Special [Edit-Clipboard] to paste a picture of one window into another.
This is especially useful with Print Templates.
