AutoCAD also has Windows Clipboard Copy Options as well. We're going to look at those now and we're going to look at using the Windows Clipboard to copy some objects. So let's have a look at the office environment that we worked in the previous exercise. If I wanted to copy the desk, the chair, the computer, the phone and the two chairs again, let's have a look. Let's select these objectives. So I'm just going to select all of these objects now. As we did before, notice the grips appear. Those objects are now selected. Now, what I can do is I can copy those to the Windows Clipboard. So if I now just right click on the mouse, there is the Copy Option. Notice I've also got the Cut Option. I don't want to cut these particularly, but what I do want is I want to copy them to the Windows Clipboard. So if I now click on Copy, notice it has the same keyboard shortcut as any other Copy Option in Words or Excel; Control and C. So when I now click on Copy there, it's copied those objects to the Windows Clipboard. I can now hit Escape to deselect the original objects. If I now right click I get the Paste Option here on the Shortcut Menu but notice I also get Paste as a Block. So that will paste all of those objects as one block. So all of those blocks will go into a new block so they will become nested blocks within the block. I'm just going to paste in this particular instance because I want them to be separate blocks. So I click on Paste and as you can see, there's the objects there and it picks the objects and it asks me to specify an insertion point. So all I'm going to do here is left click where the crosshair is and there we are. There's a copy of those objects from the Windows Clipboard. Now, what I can do as well though is I can actually bring in those blocks with a specific insertion point. So let's undo what we've just done. Let's go back up here and undo. And what I'm going to do now is I'm going to copy the objects again but this time I'm going to copy them and bring them in using the Paste Command but with a specific point. So I select my objects again. Like I did before, I select the objects; the desk, the chairs, the computer and the phone and again I right click but this time I use Copy with Base Point. Notice the keyboard shortcut is different; Control Shift C, whereas the normal copy is just Control and C. So if I do Control Shift and C or Copy with Base Point, it prompts me for a base point like it does the normal Copy Selection Command. I'm going to go for that End Point Snap there and left click. It's copied those to the Windows Clipboard so I can hit Escape now to deselect them. If I now right click though and select Paste again like I did before, now I've got an exact insertion point so I can now go to that End Point Snap there and insert those exactly. So when I'm copying, when I'm pasting using the Windows Clipboard, I can use the Copy Option or I can use the Copy with Base Point Option.
