Duplicate

Make one identical copy of the currently selected shape. The new copy appears one-half grid location down and to the right-hand side of the original shape. For OMR response grids, the new copy is displayed one grid location down and to the right-hand side. The new duplicate shape becomes the currently selected shape.

Cut

Remove the selected shape(s) and places it into the Windows clipboard so you can paste it elsewhere. You cannot cut a shape that is locked.

Copy

Copy the selected item(s) and place it on the Windows clipboard so you can paste it elsewhere.

NOTE: We do not recommend copying and pasting graphics from one Scantron DesignExpert file to another.

Paste

Paste the contents of the Windows clipboard. If you are pasting a shape, such as a box, it is pasted to the same location it was cut or copied from. If you paste a copy on the same page as the original shape, you have two copies of that shape in the same location, one on top of the other.

Grouping

Group and ungroup selected objects.

Use this option…	…to…
Group	Group the selected shapes. You can then treat the group as a single object. Grouped shapes are easier to move around in your workspace.
Ungroup	Separate a grouped object into the respective individual shapes that formed the group. Also used to undo a repeated shape.

Locking

Lock and unlock selected objects.

Use this option…	…to…
Lock	Anchor the selected shape to the current location on the form, and prevent it from being cut, deleted, moved, or resized. If you want to change or delete the shape, you need to first unlock it.
Lock Vertical	Anchor the selected shape vertically so you can only move or resize the shape horizontally.
Lock Horizontal	Anchor the selected shape horizontally so you can only move or resize the shape vertically.
Unlock	Unlock the selected shape so you can cut, delete, move, or resize it in any direction.

Layering

Move to Front	Relocate the shape so it is on top of all other shapes.
Move to Back	Relocate the shape so it is beneath all other shapes, on the bottom.
Move Forward One	Relocates the shape so it is one layer forward, closer to the top.
