Copy a column

Copying columns is a two step procedure. First you copy the data to the Windows clipboard, second you copy the data from the clipboard to the application.

Copying column data to the clipboard

1. Select the column that you want to copy, by clicking on the column header once. It is possible to select more columns, for this select a second column, while keeping the <shift> button pressed. All columns in between the first and second column will be selected.
2. Select Copy from the Edit menu. The column data will be copied to the Windows clipboard.

The column data on the clipboard is also available for other applications like spreadsheets.

Pasting the column data to a bill of materials.

1. Select a column in your bill of materials where you want the new column to be inserted.
2. Select Paste from the Edit menu. The column that has been copied to the clipboard, will be inserted after the column you have just selected. It is possible to move the column after it has been inserted. See for more information moving columns.

It is not possible to paste a type number column or a quantity total column to a bill of materials where such a column already exist. These 'special' columns can only exist ones per bill of materials. The data type of these columns will be changed to "No data field" when they are pasted.
