Paste

Inserts clipboard contents. When pasting schematic elements into a schematic, the elements will by default obtain the same position as the original elements. However, pasted elements will always be shifted downwards and to the right so that they don't cover existing copies of the same element. For example, when copying and pasting into the same schematic, the pasted elements will be positioned below and to the right of the original elements. Subsequent pastes will be inserted further down and to the right.

In order to keep the name of every element unique in a schematic, names of copied elements may be augmented with a number.

Availability

Available if the active tab is a source file and the clipboard contents are compatible with the source file. For schematics, the contents of the clipboard must be schematic elements. In addition, the editor must be focused; if it is not, click it to focus it.
