Clipboard Tools

The clipboard commands are tools for copying, inserting, removing, or duplicating objects in your Workspace, and transferring graphics into and out of MillMage.

The clipboard commands are accessible in the Edit Menu, Main Toolbar, by hotkey, or by right-clicking in your Workspace to open a context menu.

Info

Your computer's clipboard is a temporary storage location used to save items that you copy, so you can paste them to another location shortly after.

Copy ¶

Ctrl/Cmd+C

Saves a copy of selected objects to your clipboard.

Cut ¶

Ctrl/Cmd+X

Deletes selected objects in your Workspace while saving a copy of them to your clipboard at the same time.

Duplicate¶

Ctrl/Cmd+D

Creates copies of selected objects, directly on top of the existing objects.

Paste ¶

Ctrl/Cmd+V

Inserts objects copied to your clipboard into your Workspace. Pasted objects are centered at the location of your cursor at the time of pasting.

Drag and drop directly into MillMage

You can copy text, vector graphics, and images from other design software, and paste them directly into your MillMage Workspace.

LightBurn Video

This video features our sister software, LightBurn. While there may be slight differences in appearance and layout, the demonstrated processes are similar in MillMage.

Paste in Place¶

Alt/Option+V

Inserts objects copied to your clipboard into your Workspace and positions them according to their location in the project they were copied from.

Delete ¶

Del

Deletes selected objects.

Troubleshooting¶

By default, MillMage uses your system's clipboard. If you're experiencing slow performance when using the clipboard commands, disable Use System Clipboard in the Settings/Preferences window.

With this setting disabled, you'll no longer be able to copy and paste from other programs into MillMage, or between MillMage windows.
