About the clipboard

The clipboard is used as temporary storage for text, graphics and other data. You can use it to transfer information within and between applications.

Cadcorp SIS Desktop utilises the clipboard to:

  • move or copy data from one overlay to another in the same map view.
  • move or copy data from one map view to another.
  • move or copy data from the map base to another application (eg a word processor)            

The clipboard commands are:

  • Cut (Ctrl + X)
  • Copy (Ctrl + C)
  • Paste (Ctrl + V)

Note: Each use of Cut or Copy in any application overwrites the contents of the clipboard.
