Paste Special

Ribbon: Home – Clipboard > Paste special
Menu: Edit – Paste Special
Command line: PASTESPEC

The command pastes objects in the current document, which allows managing data format.

Options:

Data source Contains information about the data copied to the clipboard. The kind of information depends on the type of data.
For example, for Excel document data, it displays the layout name and the range of copied cells:
Paste The clipboard content will be pasted to the specified location in the drawing as an embedded object. Embedded data cannot be updated in the drawing workspace if modified in the original document from where they were inserted.
Paste link The clipboard content will be pasted to the specified location in the drawing as linked data.
If the source application supports OLE or a data link, a link to the source file will be created. Linked data can be updated in the drawing workspace if modified in the original document from where they were inserted. OLE object links are updated and configured in the Update OLE-links dialog box of the Update Data Links command
As: Formats in which you can paste the clipboard content into the current drawing. Depend on the type of data in the clipboard and the type of insertion (embed or bind).
As an icon Instead of data, the corresponding application icon will be placed in the drawing. To view or edit data, double-click the left mouse button on the icon.
