Copying a graphic object is an activity, whose result is the creation of an identical copy of the graphic object without any change of the graphic object. You can copy either one graphic object or a selection of graphic objects.
The symbols in the column mean:
+ | - added local variable |
= | - there was used the local variable with the same name that already exists in the picture |
!+ | - conflict, imported reference variable has the value that has already been used in the picture, you have to change it |
<number-x> <= | - local variable from picture those name occurs in the added local variables |
<number-x> +/=/!+ | - added local variable of the same name as <number-x> <=. Its name has been modified - contains the sign "_" and number. The symbol after <number-x> represents the activity that has been done. |
Note: <number-x> is a number that occurs when there are conflicts in names. It matches the variable of the original name with the variable of modified name.
To copy graphic objects within one picture, you can use the function Copy and paste.
