Flowchart Editing Functions

Icons can be moved, deleted, copied to the clipboard and pasted from the clipboard.

To move one or more icons from one position to a new position within the same flowchart:

Select the icons and then click and drag the icons to their new desired insertion point. As you drag the icons, the insertion point marker will indicate where the icons will be inserted when the mouse is released. Note that it is not possible to insert icons at a point within the icons themselves.

To delete icons from a flowchart:

Select the icons and then either select Delete or Cut from the Edit menu to remove the icons from the flowchart. If Cut is used then the icons are placed on the clipboard and can be subsequently pasted into this or another flowchart.

To copy icons from a flowchart:

Select the icons and then select Copy from the Edit menu to place a copy of the icons on the clipboard. These icons can be subsequently pasted into this or another flowchart.

To paste icons from the clipboard into a flowchart: Choose the insertion point of the icons by clicking on the flowchart and then select Paste from the Edit menu.

The delete, cut, copy and paste options are also available from the context menu that appears when right clicking on an icon.
