Description |
|
visCopyPasteNormal |
&H0 |
Default. Shapes are copied to the center of the document. |
|
visCopyPasteNoTranslate |
&H1 |
Shapes are copied to their original coordinate locations. |
Setting flag to visCopyPasteNormal is the equivalent of the behavior in the user interface. You should use the visCopyPasteNormal and visCopyPasteNoTranslate flags consistently. For example, if you copy using visCopyPasteNoTranslate, you should also paste using that value as it is the only way to ensure that shapes are pasted to their original coordinate location.
To make a copy without using the Clipboard, use the Duplicate method.
