Paste object
=============

QElectroTech allows pasting objects (`element`_, `conductor`_, `text field`_, `basic object`_ 
and `picture`_) which has already been `copied`_ or `cut`_ at the same `folio`_ or at different 
`folio`_ and/or `project`_.

.. note::

   Multiples objects can be pasted at the same time `copying`_ or `cutting`_ multiple objects.

.. warning::

    The `element`_ would suffer data losses if the intention is to paste it at different `project`_.

Pasting objects can be done from `menu bar`_, `toolbar`_, by right click at the `workspace`_ and 
using the corresponding keyboard shortcut.
