Edit Menu
The Edit menu contains commands that relate to modifying the construction sequence, commands
for exporting items in the drawing to the clipboard, and commands for selecting and deleting items
in the drawing.
Undo/Redo
Keyboard shortcut:
The Undo/Redo command lets you undo the previous action or redo the undone action. These
commands have a recall of one action only. If you wish to review additional action steps, see Replay
Construction on the next page.
The Windows version has an option in the Options/Preferences menu to let you disable the Undo
command. Disabling Undo provides for faster manipulation of very large and complex figures.
Cut/Copy/Paste
For the Macintosh and Windows versions, the Cut , Copy , and Paste commands use the
Macintosh/Windows clipboard to import and export selected items to and from a construction. For
the DOS version, these edit commands use a custom Cabri Geometry II clipboard.
Cut removes the selection from the construction and places it on the clipboard (Macintosh,
Windows), or in the file
Copy places the selected objects on the clipboard without removing them from the construction.
Additionally, for the DOS version, the selection is saved to a file depending on the type of items
that are selected. Copying a construction creates two files
Copying a table that contains data creates the file
construction or table into another application, such as a word processor or spreadsheet, when
using the DOS version, select the objects and click on Copy . Then open the other application and
insert the appropriate
Paste copies the objects from the clipboard into the drawing window that is active. After pasting,
the clipboard still contains the objects. Therefore, you can paste them in another location or Cabri
file, if you desire. In general, objects can be pasted as many times as available memory allows. One
exception is copying the table. Because Cabri Geometry II defines only a single table and the
contents of a table are dependent upon other objects, Cabri Geometry II cannot duplicate the table
within the software. Further, only the contents of the table (the numerical values) are copied to
another application.
Objects are pasted in the same position in which they were copied. If you are pasting to the same
Cabri Geometry II drawing from which you cut or copied the objects, they are pasted in the same
position but with a small offset in location. The pasted objects are independent of the objects from
which they were cut or copied.
