Copying to the Clipboard

The Copy option in the toolbar Edit menu, allows you to copy the active view to the Windows clipboard. From the clipboard, images or text can be pasted directly into word or image processing applications, for further editing, report writing, etc.

Notes:

• If you are viewing one of the wedge views (3D Wedge View, Multi-Perspective, End Wedge View), only the active pane within the view (e.g., Top, Front, Side or Perspective) will be copied to the clipboard. You must first click the mouse in the desired pane to make it the active view.
• If you wish to copy the entire wedge view (i.e., all panes within the view) to the clipboard, you will have to capture the entire application window. To do this, you can use the Print Screen or Alt + Print Screen keys on your keyboard. See below for details.
• If the Info Viewer is the active view, then the Copy option will copy the Info Viewer text to the clipboard. By default, ALL text in the Info Viewer will be copied to the clipboard. If you only want selected text, then first highlight the desired text with the mouse, and then select Copy.

TIP: you can also use the Ctrl + C keyboard combination to copy images or text to the clipboard.

Using the Print Screen key to Copy

Another useful method of copying images to the Windows clipboard is to use the Print Screen key on your keyboard. This allows you to capture the entire screen, or the application window only, to the clipboard.

• To capture the entire screen to the Windows clipboard, select the Print Screen key on your keyboard. This is useful if you wish to capture multiple views in a single image (for example: all panes within the 3D Wedge View, or after tiling multiple views).

• Pressing the Alt + Print Screen keys together will capture the application window only to the clipboard. This is useful if the UnWedge program window is not fully maximized on your desktop.
