==Description== <!--T:2-->
==Description==
The Paste command is involved in replicating [[Document_structure|Document]] objects. It places the current "clipboard" contents into the current document. Objects may be copy/pasted between Documents.


The '''Std Paste''' command pastes objects from the Clipboard into the active document.
==Usage== <!--T:3-->
# Make the target Document active by clicking on it in the Project tab or Document window.
# Invoke the Paste command using several methods:
#* Press the {{KEY|[[Image:Std Paste.svg|16px]] Paste}} button in the toolbar
#* Using the {{KEY|Ctrl}} + {{KEY|V}} keyboard shortcut
#* Use the {{MenuCommand|{{StdMenu|[[Std Edit Menu|Edit]]}} → Paste}} entry from the top menu


==Usage==
==Limitations== <!--T:4-->
* In general, it is not possible to paste FreeCAD objects into other applications, or paste objects from other applications into a FreeCAD document.


# There are several ways to invoke the command:
==More== <!--T:5-->
#* Press the {{Button|[[Image:Std_Paste.svg|16px]] [[Std_Paste|Std Paste]]}} button.
* See the [[Copying_Objects|Copying objects]] page for more details on replicating objects.
#* Select the {{MenuCommand|Edit → [[Image:Std_Paste.svg|16px]] Paste}} option from the menu.
#* Use the keyboard shortcut: {{KEY|Ctrl}}+{{KEY|V}}.

==Notes==

* When you are working in a FreeCAD text window, an input box or a spreadsheet, the standard keyboard shortcut {{KEY|Ctrl}}+{{KEY|V}}, in almost all cases, does not call the '''Std Paste''' command but uses the Paste function from the OS instead.
* FreeCAD will automatically change the internal names and, depending on the preferences, labels of objects to avoid name conflicts.
* A spreadsheet cell alias that already exists in the spreadsheet will not be pasted.
* If you are using a copy-paste operation to duplicate objects within the same document, the results will not be immediately apparent in the [[3D_view|3D view]] as the new objects have the same shape and position as their originals.
* It is not possible to copy-paste native objects between FreeCAD and other applications.

==Preferences==

* Duplicate labels are allowed if {{MenuCommand|Tools → Edit parameters... → BaseApp → Preferences → Document → DuplicateLabels}} is set to {{TRUE}}. This setting can also be changed in the [[Preferences_Editor#Document|Preferences Editor]].

Description

The Std Paste command pastes objects from the Clipboard into the active document.

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Std Paste button.
    • Select the Edit → Paste option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+V.

Notes

  • When you are working in a FreeCAD text window, an input box or a spreadsheet, the standard keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V, in almost all cases, does not call the Std Paste command but uses the Paste function from the OS instead.
  • FreeCAD will automatically change the internal names and, depending on the preferences, labels of objects to avoid name conflicts.
  • A spreadsheet cell alias that already exists in the spreadsheet will not be pasted.
  • If you are using a copy-paste operation to duplicate objects within the same document, the results will not be immediately apparent in the 3D view as the new objects have the same shape and position as their originals.
  • It is not possible to copy-paste native objects between FreeCAD and other applications.

Preferences

  • Duplicate labels are allowed if Tools → Edit parameters... → BaseApp → Preferences → Document → DuplicateLabels is set to true. This setting can also be changed in the Preferences Editor.
