Cut deletes the selected component and places a copy on the Windows

clipboard.

Copy places a copy of the selected component on the Windows clipboard.

Align provides some options for lining up a group of components with the last

component selected. Select two or more components by using the cursor to

click and drag a bounding box around the desired components. Components

can also be selected by selecting the first component and then selecting the

other components while holding down the <ctrl> key. With the components

selected choose one of the alignment options. The components will be aligned

based on the last component selected. The last component is identified by dark

blue handles and by dark blue highlighting in the Project Tree. The other

selected components have handles with blue outlines and are highlighted in

light blue in the Project Tree.

Be careful about the alignment you choose. Selecting Top Align

for a group of components that are arranged vertically will cause

all the components to end up on top of each other.

Space Evenly will evenly distribute the selected components horizontally

across or vertically down the page.

Make Same Size allows you to set two or more objects to the same overall

size, width or height as the last object selected. Select one or more components

by using the cursor to click and drag a bounding box around the desired

components. The components can also be selected by selecting the first

component and then selecting the other components while holding down the

<ctrl> key. The last component is identified by dark blue handles and by dark

blue highlighting in the Project Tree. The other selected components have

handles with blue outlines and are highlighted in light blue in the Project Tree.

Center will center the selected component(s) either vertically or horizontally

on the page.

Order is used to manage the position of graphic objects on the workspace.

Displays are often a combination of a background graphic and data display

objects in front. Objects added to the workspace are, by default, placed on top

of any existing objects. These operations are used to determine the order in

which objects are displayed.

Group Components allows you to group components together. They can then

be moved, copied, ordered, etc. as a single object. Select the components to be

grouped by holding the

Ctrl key and clicking the components with the primary

mouse button. Then choose the Group Components item from the Component

menu or the Component right-click menu. You must have at least two

components selected for this menu item to be enabled.

When a component group is selected, the menu item will change to Ungroup

Components. You can undo the component grouping by selecting this menu

item.
