# 2.4 Edit Menu

The Edit Menu shows commands affecting the Main Canvas (Section 3.1).

  Undo - Reverses the last command. Up to the last ten commands can be undone. If there are no commands that can be undone the Undo item is disabled. The Undo command can also be invoked by the Undo button (Section 2.4.9).

  Redo - Undoes the last Undo command. The Redo command can also be invoked by the Redo button (Section 2.4.9).

  Cut - Moves the selected objects to the clipboard.

  Copy - Copies the selected objects to the clipboard.

  Paste - Copies the contents of the clipboard to the layout. Using the paste Menu command it will be placed at the center of the screen. If the context menu paste is used or the short-cuts Ctrl+v or Shift+Insert, the parts will be placed at the cursor position. Repeated Pastes without moving the cursor result in overlaid copies. The newly pasted parts are in Selected state and can easily be moved into place. Any previously selected objects are unselected.

  Select Current Layer - selects all objects in the current Layer (Section 2.9.5).

  Invert Selection - selects all unselected objects and unselects all previously selected objects.
