layer by first making it the current layer and then choosing "Edit" > "Paste" > "Paste in layer" or
"Paste in place in current layer"
. The layer from which the objects were copied is ignored in this case.
However if the objects you copy are on several different layers
, then the layer structure is maintained when you paste.
This allows you to copy layered data within a document or to a different document. Any layers which are
missing in the target document are created automatically by this operation. So for example if you copy a
mouse-over button, which has one object on the MouseOff layer and another object on the MouseOver
layer, to a new document, the MouseOff and MouseOver layers will be created if they don't already exist
and the button objects copied onto them.
"Ctrl + Shift + V" or "Edit" > "Paste in place"
pastes the clipboard contents into the same X/Y position from where they were cut or copied or the
same position relative to the bottom of the page in the case of footer objects. This only applies to objects
cut or copied from within Web Designer Premium. Objects imported from other programs are always
pasted into the center of the current view.
The object remains on the clipboard so you can paste the same object several times.
If there is a choice of formats on the clipboard, Web Designer MX Premium will display a Paste
Special
dialog which allows you to choose the format you want to paste in (eg. When pasting in text you may
have the choice of pasting in unformatted text or Rich Text).
In addition you may see the following paste options, depending on the clipboard contents:
Paste unformatted text
Pastes any text on the clipboard into your document without any formatting.
Paste format/attributes
Preserves the format (e.g., font and font size) or style attributes (e.g., line and fill color) of the pasted
object.
Paste position
This option applies the position of a copied object on the clipboard to a currently selected object, which
moves to the exact same position as the copied object.
If multiple items have been copied to the clipboard, Web Designer Premium treats them as if they are a
group and moves the currently selected object to the position of the copied group as a whole.
The currently selected object is pasted or moved into the center position of the copied object or group of
objects.
Paste size
This option applies the size of a copied object on the clipboard to a currently selected object, which
resizes around its center to the exact size of the copied object.
If you have multiple items selected when you 'paste size', each of those objects is made the target size,
instead of the selection as a whole. So for example if you copy a 200x200 pixel photo, then select 10
other photos and 'paste size', all 10 photos each become 200x200 pixels. This gives a quick way to
make a bunch of objects a particular size.
Paste replacing selection
This is similar to Paste position
, except that the copied object on the clipboard replaces the currently selected object and retains the
deleted item's position.
The copied object is pasted into the center position of the deleted object.
