Edit Operation
You enter the edit operation by pressing the F21 or F22 key in the screen view
display. You can edit elements one by one (Element edit), or in a block by
specifying two diagonally opposite positions (Block edit). F21 (Element edit) starts
the element edit operation, while F22 (Block edit) starts the block edit operation.
The functions for both edit types are copy, move, and remove. For the element
edit, the cursor is used to select an element by placing it at the element mark. For
the block edit, the cursor is used to select a block by specifying two diagonally
opposite positions.
Specify one of the move, copy, or remove operations for the selected element or
for the block by pressing the appropriate function key. The operation takes place
for all elements in the block, even if some of them are not displayed. In the case of
line elements, box elements, and graphics elements, the entire element must be
surrounded by the specified block. For the other elements, those elements whose
mark (first asterisk only) is in the block will be selected.
You need to place the cursor at the position where the selected element or block is
copied or moved to, and press the appropriate function key. To remove, press the
appropriate function key.
