Inkscape includes commands to copy, paste, and delete objects. Commands of this type can be found in three places: Under the Edit menu (see below), in the Command Bar (Cut, Copy, Paste, and Duplicate), and in the pop-up menu when you Right Mouse Click over the canvas (Cut, Copy, Paste, Duplicate, and Delete).
Clipboard: Except for text, copying works via an internal clipboard (a place where a description of one or more objects are stored temporarily in memory). Thus, it is not possible to paste non-text objects between different instances of Inkscape or Inkscape and an external program. It is possible to paste between different drawings if they were opened via the same Inkscape process. Adding an object or group of objects (a selection) to the clipboard removes any previous selection stored in the clipboard.
The commands available under the Edit menu are:
→
Cortar
(Ctrl+X):
Selection is removed from drawing, but stored in clipboard.
→
Copiar
(Ctrl+C):
Copy of selection is stored in clipboard.
→
Pegar
(Ctrl+V):
A copy of objects stored in clipboard is placed in the drawing at
the location of the cursor.
→
Pegar en el sitio
(Ctrl+Alt+V):
Objects are copied from clipboard to original location of objects.
This is very useful in copying a selection from one drawing to
the corresponding spot in another drawing.
→
Pegar estilo
(Mayús.+Ctrl+V):
The style (fill and stroke attributes or for text the font, size, and style) of
the object in the clipboard are given to the selected object(s).
→
Duplicar
(Ctrl+D):
An object is copied and placed on top of the original object. The copied object
is left selected.
→
Crear copia en _mapa de bits
(Alt+B):
The selection is exported as a bitmap then pasted back into the
drawing at the same place. The original objects remain unchanged.
The exported bitmap is not stored in the
SVG file.
New in v0.45:
The bitmap will have a resolution specified by one of the
following, in order of preference: a resolution specified in the
~/.inkscape/preferences.xml in the group
id="createbitmap" of the form: resolution="xx", a resolution used
for exporting the file to a bitmap, or the default bitmap
resolution of 90 dpi. In the last case, the pixels will be
snapped to the pixel grid.
→
Eliminar
(Delete) or
(Backspace):
Selection is removed from drawing and not stored in clipboard.
Hitting the Space Bar while dragging or transforming an object with the mouse will “drop” a copy of the object at the current point.
Another method for copying objects, cloning, is discussed in the next section.
