Copy/Paste Attributes

METHOD A

Copy/Paste between existing objects

Copying and pasting the attributes using this method will make sure the Default Attributes are not altered.

Selecting a line and clicking  will make sure its attributes are copied to the clipboard. These attributes are NOT stored in the Default Attributes, but are stored 'invisible' on the clipboard.

Copying of attributes can be achieved in 4 different ways.

Copy attributes:

First select an object, then:

• Click  
• via menu Format < Copy < Attributes
• OR use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C
• OR use right mouse button → Copy attributes

Paste attributes:

Select one or more objects, then:

• Click
• via menu Format < Paste < Attributes
• OR use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+V
• OR click the right mouse button → Paste attributes

METHOD B

Copy to/Paste from Default Attributes

Copy to Default Attributes:

Copying the attributes of a selected object to the Default Attributes is handy when you want to create new objects with the exact same attributes. This can be achieved by selecting one object, then:

• Use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Double-Click on the object
• via menu Format < Copy < To Default Attributes
• OR click the right mouse button → Copy to Default Attributes

Paste from Default Attributes:

Pasting can be achieved by selecting one or more objects, then:

• Use the shortcut Shift+Double-Click
• via menu Format < Paste < From Default Attributes
• OR click Right mouse button → Paste Default Attributes
