Copying & Pasting Key Exposures
When you copy a key exposure and paste it over a cell that has the same drawing, by default, this creates a key exposure in this cell.
You can actually choose whether or not to create key exposure when you paste in two ways
- Using Paste Special, you can choose whether to paste key exposure on the fly.
- Using Paste Presets, you can choose whether to paste key exposure whenever you paste.
