As a difference to the standard copy and paste feature, the multiple paste feature provides the following options:

• Copy and paste an object (element, conductor, text field, etc.) multiple times in one action.

• Use QElectroTech auto-connection feature for element terminals which are at the same horizontal or vertical line.

• Self-numbering of the copied element/s, the standard copy feature does not allow using auto-numbering patterns.

• Self-numbering of the copied/created conductor/s, the standard copy feature does not allow using auto-numbering patterns.

To copy and paste multiple times one or more object:

1. Select the object/s which should be copied.

2. Right click on the selected object/s.
