Edit menu

Analytica User GuideMenusEdit menu

The Edit menu includes options for editing a model: selecting nodes, text fields or cells of a table, and copying, pasting, cutting and deleting them. The menu can also be used for setting personal preferences and for integrating the model with other applications via OLE linking.

The exact functionalities of the individual Edit menu items are described in the table below.

	Menu item	Description
	Undo	Undoes your last action. “Can’t Undo” appears in this location if an undo is not possible.
	Cut	Cuts the selected text, node(s), or table cells into the clipboard temporarily for pasting.
	Copy	Copies the selected text, node(s), graph, or table cells into the clipboard temporarily for pasting. See Copying and Pasting.
	Paste	Pastes the contents of the clipboard at the insertion point in a text, diagram, or table, or replaces the current selection. See Copying and Pasting.
