Copy and paste?

[mckwxp]

Hi devs, I suppose there is a copy-and-paste feature in cadnano, but I can't figure out how to use it. It isn't mentioned in the docs. Can anyone let me know the instructions for this feature?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we will plan to add documentation for this feature. In the meantime you can try selecting VHs in the grid view and then right-click to get a context menu, and choose “copy”. Then right-click elsewhere and select “paste”.

Thanks for the prompt response.

In fact, what I want to do is to copy strands instead of virtual helices. For example, suppose I have a strand on 0[0] to 0[20]. I want to copy it and paste it at 0[21] to 0[41]. What method would you suggest in order to accomplish this goal?
