Copy The 'Copy' button (also Ctrl+C) allows you to copy any selected items to your clipboard so they can be pasted to another location on the sketch or to another program.

Cut The 'Cut' button (also Ctrl+X) removes any selected items from the sketch but also copies them to your clipboard so they can be pasted somewhere else.

Paste The 'Paste' button (also Ctrl+V) will paste the contents of your clipboard to the sketch. RapidSketch supports pasting text (as a new note) and images from other programs.

 

Any item can be copied including lines, labels, complete areas, images and symbols.

 

To copy:

 

Select an item on the sketch (see 'Selecting Items').
Click the 'Copy' button.
Click the 'Paste' button.

 

Copying is useful when you need a new area that is very similar to an existing area.
