Undocumented cut-copy feature/bug?
« on: October 07, 2016, 11:27:22 pm »
Works in AD16.0, at least.

In schematic view, select some objects.
Under Tools/Preferences/Graphical Editing, turn on Clipboard Reference.
CTRL+C, CTRL+X, left click (to execute Cut), right click (to cancel the stacked Copy).
CTRL+V and click.  You Paste a screenshot of the selection (transparent background, roughly 100 DPI resolution), instead of objects!

Not sure how many permutations of stacked CTRL+C/X/other modes can be used together.  Also I don't recommend using stacked modes, since they tend to be buggy, and hard to use.  I just thought this behavior was rather unusual, and potentially useful, on the odd occasion you might need a screenshot snippet somewhere.

stacked mode works perfectly fine. BUT !!! only 3 levels deep.  if you are unsure where you are : <ESC><ESC><ESC>  this brings you out of stacked mode, irrespective of where you are
