Gary, I may have misunderstood your intent. I thought you were looking for a text based cut and paste editing capability for modifying SmartCAM geometry. If you're just looking to paste the element information into another application then what Michael posted should work fine.

Something could be custom written in VB or C and then called from the macro, but that's a lot of work. I believe you can accomplish most of what you described using the built in function "Edit"-"Geo Edit"-"Modify". The only drawback is that you could only cut (Ctrl+X) copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) one field at a time. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Senack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 9:21 AM To: gary; SmartCAM List Server Subject: RE: [mfg-smartcam] Macro help Try this macro.

Mouse select a entity. Execute the macro, the macro opens a editor with all the element information. This is similar to the F7 key but in a text editor so I can select, copy the information I need .
