Clipboard Window
The Clipboard window displays the objects you cut and copied. Objects remain in the clipboard until they are pasted directly, pasted with a separate action (such as Add to Project), or manually cleared. Copying or cutting new objects does not remove previous clipboard objects. The most recent objects determine the paste action.
To access the Clipboard window, select Quick Links > Clipboard.
Columns
The columns in the Clipboard window provide basic information about each object in the a table. Often, table columns correspond to the attributes of the object. For more information, see Object Attributes.
For helpful tips on using information tables, see Using Tables. See Personalizing Tables and Table Views for an overview of information table functionality.
