IMPORTANT: Circuit structural information on the Clipboard is discarded when you quit the
program. Only picture and text data is retained. You cannot use the clipboard to
Copy and Paste circuit data between LogicWorks sessions—you must use disk
files.
Cut and Copy work on the currently selected group of circuit objects and
will be disabled if no objects are selected. When items are copied onto the
Clipboard, their names are copied with them; this may result in duplicate
names. If duplicate signal names are pasted back into the circuit from
which they were copied, then logical connections will be made between the
like-named segments.
Cut
Cut removes the currently selected objects from the circuit and transfers
them to the Clipboard. It is equivalent to doing a Copy and then a Delete.
Cut will be disabled if no objects are selected.
Copy
Copies the currently selected objects onto the Clipboard without removing
them. This can be used to duplicate a circuit group, copy it from one file to
another, or to copy a picture of the circuit group to a drawing program. See
the notes on Clipboard data above. Copy will be disabled if no objects are
currently selected.
Paste
The Paste command, when executed in a Schematic window, replaces the
mouse pointer with a flickering image of the Clipboard’s contents. As
noted above, this data may be a circuit group copied from within Logic-
Works, or it may be text information created by another program or mod-
ule. The image of the Clipboard data can be dragged around and positioned
as desired. The item will be made a permanent part of your diagram when
the left mouse button is pressed.
LogicWorks checks for signal connections only at “loose ends” in the sig-
nal lines being pasted—that is, at ends of line segments that do not touch
devices or other line segments. For example, if the following circuit scrap
