Cut Map Nodes

You can cut selected device, decorative, or text nodes from the map in order to paste them in another
location.
You can cut a submap node as long as it is empty.
●
You cannot cut a hyper node. A hyper node will be removed automatically as appropriate, if all
●
nodes on the current map that have links to that node, are removed.
To cut one or more nodes, do the following:
1 Select the nodes you want to cut. You can select multiple nodes by dragging the cursor to rubber-
band the selection, or by using Shift-click (hold down the shift key while clicking the cursor on the
nodes you want to select).
2 Cut the nodes by doing one of the following:
Select Cut Map Nodes from the Edit menu.
■
Click the "Cut nodes from map" icon on the icon bar.
■
Right-click on the map background to display the pop-up menu, then select Cut Map Nodes.
■
Enter [Ctrl]+H from the keyboard.
■
NOTE
You are NOT asked to confirm this action: if you cut a node by mistake, you just need to paste it back again to the
map.
NOTE
If you switch to another topology view, or leave the topology applet, and you have not pasted the contents of the cut
buffer, those contents are lost.
To remove nodes from the map without provision for pasting them, use the Delete Map Nodes
command.

Paste Map Nodes

Once you have cut one or more nodes, you can paste them onto another map by doing one of the
following:
Select Paste Map Nodes from the Edit menu.
●
Click the "Paste" icon on the icon bar.
●
Right-click on the map background to display the pop-up menu, then select New Device Map Node.
●
Enter [Ctrl]+J from the keyboard.
●
These commands will only be available if there are cut nodes currently on the clipboard.
If nodes are pasted partially or completely on top of one another, you can use the Layout Map
command (see
302
"Layout Map" on page 305) to rearrange them.
