Copy Filter Text
Applied Parameters: Action=Copy
Summary
This command is used to copy the selected query expression text from the Filter panel to the clipboard.
Access
With the required text selected, this command can be accessed from the PCB Editor and the PCB Library Editor by:
- Right-clicking within the Filter region of the Filter panel - either PCB Filter panel (PCB Editor), or PCBLIB Filter panel (PCB Library Editor) - and choosing the Copy command from the context menu.
- Using the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut.
Use
First, select the text that you wish to copy - all or part of the current query expression presented in the Filter region of the Filter panel.
After launching the command, the text will be copied to the clipboard, and can be used elsewhere within, or outside of, Altium Designer.
Tips
- The copied text is added to the Clipboard panel. The panel can store a number of objects that can be added (pasted) to various document types within Altium Designer at any stage, allowing for multiple copy/paste operations.
- The Clipboard panel supports a variety of data formats, depending on the origin and object type. It can be set to display either only objects copied or cut from within the Altium Designer environment, or the entire Windows clipboard - controlled by the Monitor clipboard content within this application only option, on the System - General page of the Preferences dialog. Be aware that not all data types are supported by each design editor (PCB Editor, Schematic Editor, etc), and that objects that are not supported will not be pasted.
-
Clipboard panel content is not persistent across design sessions. All content will be cleared when the software is closed and restarted.
