Use this command (Home tab > Clipboard group, or in classic view, Edit menu) to remove the selected text from its present location and save it to the clipboard. The selection may include one or more spreadsheet items or the contents of a single cell or field. You can then paste the selection elsewhere in this estimate or another estimate.

Tips:  

  • A selection is required before you can choose the Cut command.

    The selection remains on the clipboard and is available for pasting somewhere else until you cut or copy again. Each cut or copy replaces anything previously stored on the clipboard.

  • Cut operations do not include Bid Grids. Items lose all information from the Bid Grid when pasted back into an estimate.

  • From the keyboard, press Ctrl+X.

  • To open the shortcut menu, right-click.
