Use Windows Cut, Copy, and Paste
When you want to use objects from a drawing file in another application, you
can cut or copy these objects to the Clipboard and then paste them from the
Clipboard into the other application.
Cut Objects
Cutting deletes selected objects from the drawing and stores them on the
Clipboard. The objects are now available to be pasted into other Microsoft
®
Windows
®
documents.
Copy Objects
You can use the Clipboard to copy part or all of a drawing into a document
created by another application. The objects are copied in vector format, which
retains the high resolution in other applications. These objects are stored in
WMF (Windows metafile) format in the Clipboard. The information stored
in the Clipboard can then be embedded in the other document. Updating the
original drawing does not update the copy embedded in the other application.
Paste Objects
Applications use different internal formats to store Clipboard information.
When you copy objects to the Clipboard, information is stored in all available
formats. When you paste the Clipboard contents into a drawing, the format
that retains the most information is used. However, you can override this
setting and convert pasted information to AutoCAD LT format.
Because it is the easiest format to edit, the AutoCAD LT format is the preferred
format for copying objects to and from AutoCAD LT. It retains all relevant
object information, including block references and 3D aspects.
The Windows metafile (picture) format contains screen vector information,
and files can be scaled and printed without losing resolution. Use this format
to paste objects into Windows applications that support WMF files. Metafiles
pasted into AutoCAD LT are of higher resolution than bitmapped images (BMP
files) but are not as easily manipulated as AutoCAD LT objects. Bitmapped
images are raster images consisting of a pattern of pixels and are commonly
used by paint applications.
