Cut Command Help Information       *

The Cut command is used to copy a
range of contours' pen numbers into
a holding register.  Once the pen
pattern is copied, the pattern is
removed from the current project's
contours.

The Cut command is intended to be
used in conjunction with the Copy
and Paste commands.  These commands
can be used to create complex
repeating patterns in the pens of
a project's contours.

Perform these steps to use the Cut
command:

  1. Click contour "A"'s pen, if
     necessary, to set the current
     contour.

  2. Click the Cut command gadget.

  3. Click contour "B"'s pen.

The pen numbers from contour "A"
through contour "B" copied into
a holding register.  The number of
contours from "A" through "B" are
also recorded.  Once the pen pattern
is recorded, the pen pattern is
removed from the current project's
contours.

Once a pattern is in the holding
register, it can be pasted back into
a range of contours using the Paste
command gadget.
