Easy Powerclipping

Filed under: Powerclip tricks [Edit Tags]

When you drag an object with the RMB (Rigth Mouse Button) into an other object, automatically a pop-up appears, asking if you want to powerclip it [2]

Select it and it will be clipped [3].

Double click the powerclip with the LMB (Left Mouse Button) while holding down the Control key and the clipped object will become editable; you can reposition and / or resize it [4].

Click with the LMB outside of the powerclip while pressing the Control key and the edited powerclip will become of effect.

"Avoid using abbreviations in wikis, since they are supposed to aid. Abbreviations can be obstacles to correct understanding ("left mouse button" instead of LMB). Might sound obvious, but then again, try to make your wikis as easy to understand as possible".

I ALSO AGREE WITH THIS COMMENT.

Sorry, I took the liberty of editing the meaning of acronyms.

Add a shortcut to the powerclip "place inside containter..." feature gives more speed. ie. You can use Ctrl+1 for this command. Select the content, press Ctrl+1 and select the container. Fast and simple.
