Store block

 Use this command to transfer objects of the current drawing to other drawings or other positions in the current drawing. This menu command operates like the other well-known functions Copy/Paste. However, the elements of the active drawing window are saved in the WSCAD intermediate file P1BLOK01.

Once you have selected objects by clicking on them with the left mouse button or have selected a window, you can also use the key combination <Ctrl-C> to save the block to the Windows clipboard. 

After menu option activation, you must select an option in the menu (top left in the working window) in order to determine the choice of objects belonging to the block.

Possible choices

• All (if active) selects the contents of the complete WSCAD page
• 1Object        Click on the relevant element with the left mouse button
• Objects        Click on several elements with the left mouse button (finish selection using the right mouse button and <ESC>)
• 1Window       Draw a selection window with the left mouse button held down
• M-Window       Draw several selection windows with the left mouse button held down

Finish the selection by clicking on the right mouse button and confirming with the <ESC> key. The temporary file is overwritten every time the command is executed but the contents remains available even after restarting the program. Use this function to transfer parts of a drawing from one page to another page.
