78 Object Handling

Paste in place (Ctrl+Shift+V)
The same as Paste, except your object will be pasted in the exact same position from
which you copied it. This is useful for moving objects from one layer or page to another,
without changing its X/Y position

Paste format/attributes (Ctrl+Shift+A)
Preserves the format (e.g., font and font size) or style attributes (e.g., line and fill color) of
the pasted object. It is a quick way of applying multiple attributes. When you Paste
Attributes, the attributes of the objects on the clipboard are applied to all the objects
currently selected

Paste position
This option applies the position of a copied object on the clipboard to a currently selected
object, which moves to the exact same position as the copied object.
If multiple items have been copied to the clipboard, Designer Pro treats them as if they
are a group and moves the currently selected object to the position of the copied group
as a whole.

The currently selected object is pasted or moved into the center position of the copied
object or group of objects.

Paste size
This option applies the size of a copied object on the clipboard to a currently selected
object, which resizes around its center to the exact size of the copied object.
If you have multiple items selected when you ‘paste size’, each of those objects is made
the target size, instead of the selection as a whole. So for example if you copy a 200x200
pixel photo, then select 10 other photos and ‘paste size’, all 10 photos each become
200x200 pixels. This gives a quick way to make a bunch of objects a particular size.
Paste size and position
As the name suggests, this option applies both the size and exact position of the object
on the clipboard, to the selected object. This useful for making text areas have the same
size and position on each page of your document, if you have previously made them
different.
Paste replacing selection

This is similar to PASTE POSITION, except that the copied object on the clipboard replaces
the currently selected object and retains the deleted item's position.

The copied object is pasted into the center position of the deleted object.
Paste in current layer

The same as PASTE IN PLACE, except your object will only be pasted into the current
layer.
