Looks like "Copy" was added for VEE 5 but "clone" has been around since UF's were added. I checked all versions from 5 thru 8 and all have the 'copy" menu pick.

Make sure that you are looking at the UF's title bar menu.

Hello,
is there a way to copy and paste a UF?
It looks like as its only possible to cut the UF and then paste it twice. Is this correct?
Why is the cut-command only available in the "right-click-on-UF-menue" and not as keyboard-shortcut "STRG+X"?
Are there any plausible explanations why it is like this?
Thx

Jochen,

If you are looking to duplicate the user function within the same instance of vee –

Open the user function, right click on its title bar and choose clone.

If you want to copy the user function to another instance of vee –

Either

a.       save a copy of your program with just the user functions you want to copy, and choose merge library from the file menu and select this saved file

b.       Right click on the title of the user function – choose make user object. Place the object on main. CTRL-C to copy the user object. Click over to the new vee program. Click CTRL-V to paste the user object. Right click on the user object and Choose make user function.

This is awkward, but it does work.

Hope this helps,

Mike

You don't need to make it a user object. Right click on the user function title bar, choose copy. Go to your other Vee program, right click anywhere and choose paste. The user function is pasted into your new program as a user function.

Hi Jochen,
in VEE 5 you open the UF then right click the UF's title bar (must be the title bar). Then go to the main menu bar, select edit and paste as many times as you like. It creates another UF and automatically increments a number which it adds to the UF name for each paste action. You can also open another instance of VEE and menu bar edit, paste to the new program. I haven't tried it with later versions.

Dear Mike and Jochen,

I think I have an easier solution for copying a UF from one Vee program to another:

1.       Right click on the title bar of UF to copy and select “Copy” (the keyboard shortcut CTRL-C does not work for this step)

2.       Go to the Vee program to paste it into and (Here is the trick) a white space, like another User Function’s white background. You can either right click and paste, or use the keyboard shortcut CTRL-V.

The trick is the white space is where you need to right click and paste for the mouse method (it does nothing to the UF you are pasting it on). Just selecting another UF will allow you to use the keyboard shortcut.

If the Vee program you are pasting into has the same name UF, it just adds a unique number to the end of the name.

I have been using this for years, and I think the keyboard shortcut to copy broke a few versions back as I recall.

Ok I must be slow.

When I right click on my UF, there is no option to copy.

Advice?

Subject: [vrf] How to copy User-Functions?

Hello,

is there a way to copy and paste a UF?

It looks like as its only possible to cut the UF and then paste it twice. Is this correct?

Why is the cut-command only available in the "right-click-on-UF-menue" and not as keyboard-shortcut "STRG+X"?

Are there any plausible explanations why it is like this?

Thx

Hey Eddie,
You need to right click on the title bar of the function you want to copy. Click on white space where you want to paste it.

Cheers,

Mike and Jochen,

The Method described by Kirk, is the same method I’ve been using since we upgraded to Version 7.5. Right Clicking on White Space, either in a Function or in Main does the trick

Interestingly it also works for cloning within a VEE program. Once you have right clicked, to copy, you can CTRL-V as many times as you like and it will keep adding a sequentially unique number to the end each cloned User Function

Gary.

Subject: RE: [vrf] How to copy User-Functions?

Dear Mike and Jochen,

I think I have an easier solution for copying a UF from one Vee program to another:

1.       Right click on the title bar of UF to copy and select “Copy” (the keyboard shortcut CTRL-C does not work for this step)
2.       Go to the Vee program to paste it into and (Here is the trick) a white space, like another User Function’s white background. You can either right click and paste, or use the keyboard shortcut CTRL-V.

The trick is the white space is where you need to right click and paste for the mouse method (it does nothing to the UF you are pasting it on). Just selecting another UF will allow you to use the keyboard shortcut.

If the Vee program you are pasting into has the same name UF, it just adds a unique number to the end of the name.

I have been using this for years, and I think the keyboard shortcut to copy broke a few versions back as I recall.

Jochen,

If you are looking to duplicate the user function within the same instance of vee –

Open the user function, right click on its title bar and choose clone.

If you want to copy the user function to another instance of vee –
Either
a.       save a copy of your program with just the user functions you want to copy, and choose merge library from the file menu and select this saved file
b.       Right click on the title of the user function – choose make user object. Place the object on main. CTRL-C to copy the user object. Click over to the new vee program. Click CTRL-V to paste the user object. Right click on the user object and Choose make user function.

This is awkward, but it does work.

Hope this helps,

Mike

Hi Eddie,

May I know which version that you are using? I’m using the VEE 8.5, and I can see the Copy menu in my UserFunction right click context menu.

You can give it a try by right-clicking the UserFunction’s title bar, and the Copy menu should be available in that drop down context menu.

Best Regards,

Cheng Foo, POON
