The Edit drop-down menu contains the following items:
Insert
Before - inserts the selected item in the Component Window to the
circuit interconnect location before
the selected item in the Drawing Window.
Note: Insert...
commands are only
active when target components have been selected in both the Parts
and Drawing
windows. See Inserts & Deletes demonstration
Insert After - inserts the selected item in the Component Window to the circuit interconnect location after the selected item in the Drawing Window.
Connect - connects the endpoint of the first component selection to the endpoint of the second component selection.
See Connects, Disconnects, & Reconnects Demo
Disconnect/Reconnect - disconnects the first component selection at its start-point and reconnects that point to the endpoint of the second component selected.
Delete - executes delete operation on the highlighted component in circuit. See Inserts & Deletes demonstration for more details.

Break Loop - disconnects the endpoint of selected component from a circuit loop. (Active only if the highlighted component forms a loop connection)
Copy and Add - opens the Copy and Add Components dialog, allowing user to copy selected circuit (or segment) from source location to specified target location.
Delete
Component Branch - Deletes component
selected by pointer-finger, along with all of the following components
in the (lateral) branch. If component is in a loop,
then all components in forward path will be deleted.
Note: Use View
/ Show Brother to highlight
the forward path of a component and illustrate a branch deletion.
Rotate and Shift - opens the Rotation of Components dialog, allowing user to rotate or shift system, circuit, etc. to new orientation.
Flip X or Y Coordinates - opens the Flip X Y Coordinates dialog, allowing user to change horizontal or vertical portion of circuit to a mirror image about the selected reference point. Note: This function is primarily used in conjunction with the Copy & Add utility during construction of sample circuits.
Split Line/Cable - opens the Line Splitter dialog, allowing user to split a selected line or cable component into two distinct components.
Move Component End Point - user selects target component with pointer-finger and opens the Move Ending Point dialog, which allows user to move selected component's endpoint to a specified (x-y coordinate) location.
Add Long Line - opens the Add Long Continuous Conductor dialog, allowing user to interactively construct an extended or multi-point line.
Copy to Clipboard - copies the graphic area marked (via left mouse drag) in the Drawing Window to the Windows clipboard. See Copying to Clipboard Example
Go To - opens the Go To dialog, enabling user to pan the view to a selected source, circuit, component, or (X,Y) coordinate.
Find - opens the Find Components dialog, enabling user to perform advanced
search operations to locate existing system components by name, UID, etc.
