How to copy properties

The "Copy" button copies all button properties of one state to the clipboard (there are 3 states - normal, selected, pushed). The program uses its own internal clipboard, so you can't paste it for example to a text file. To copy only one group of properties (group is a form, deformation, material etc..) use "Copy properties". For example to copy text properties use "Copy text properties". "Insert" button applies properties from the clipboard to a selected state. Old properties will be replaced by clipboard ones. "Exchange" is similar to "Insert", but it swaps the clipboard contents with the item state contents, i.e. properties from clipboard go to item state and item state properties go to clipboard. "Copy to all" buttons has submenu with 6 items. Items 1) Copy to all state 2) Copy to all buttons 3) Copy to same state allow you to apply properties from clipboard to 1) all states of current button 2) all states of all menu buttons 3) states same as selected state of all buttons Example: Menu   Button1 1    normal 2    selected 3    pushed   Button2 4    normal 5    selected 6    pushed   Button3 7    normal 8    selected 9    pushed After you copy the properties to the clipboard, you can apply them using 1) "Copy to all state" to 1,2,3 states, if Button1 is selected; 2) "Copy to all buttons" to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 states; 3) "Copy to same state" to 3,6,9 states, if "pushed" state is selected. The "Autocopy" function ("Auto copy to all states", "Auto copy to all buttons", "Copy to same states" checkbox buttons) makes the copying automatic. After you alter any button property, the properties of other buttons will be changed instantly by the algorithm above. For example "Auto copy to all buttons" is checked. Then as soon as you change, say, the font from normal to bold, the font of all other states of all buttons will be bolded automatically. See also How to work with templates.
