Look It Up

Paste

Puts a copy on the page you’re on, where you are looking — by your pointer if it’s over the drawing, otherwise in the middle of what you can see. Never on a page you can’t see, and never off the edge of the paper. Pasting again cascades the copies so you can tell them apart.

Why you would use it

So a copy turns up where you are working, rather than somewhere you have to go and find.

For example

What to do

  1. Select something and press Ctrl+C.
  2. Go where you want it.
  3. Press Ctrl+V.

Going further

Paste again and the copies step down and across so you can tell them apart, and the run starts again rather than walking off the screen. Right-click and Paste here puts it exactly where you point — and the same menu lists the last few things you copied by name, so copying something else doesn’t lose what you had.

Keep going
