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 Clear. Cut is disabled if no objects are selected As well as the standard location in the Edit menu, there are also Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear and Duplicate commands in the Device and Signal pop-up menus. These operate on the single object that was clicked on to display the menu. |

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 | Paste replaces the cursor with an image of the contents of the Clipboard in the circuit window. The data being pasted may be a circuit group copied from within HYPERSIM®, or it may be text or picture information created by another program. 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 mouse button is pressed. Paste is disabled if there is no information on the clipboard of a recognized type. |
Signal Connection Checking on Paste
HYPERSIM checks for signal connections only at "loose ends" in the signal lines being pasted, i.e. ends of line segments which do not touch devices or other line segments.
Connection "hit testing" can be disabled by holding the Ctrl key on the keyboard depressed while clicking the mouse button (this also applies to single device placing), or by using the “Paste Special” command, described above.

Signal Naming Options
The Signal Naming Options give you more control over the process of assigning new names to signals when circuit scraps are pasted back into a design. The available options are:
