Hi,

Tutorial4 is working as expected in my test. Which browser are you using? Are there any errors shown in the browser's console window?

Can you verify that the diagram is actually loaded and interactive? Can you draw nodes/links on the canvas, and does the NodeListView display nodes?

In the case of this sample, ''diagram'' is a variable for easy access to the diagram control, but also the name of the canvas html element. You can try accessing the diagram object like this:

var d = MindFusion.Diagramming.Diagram.find("diagram"); // diagram is the id of the canvas html element.
if (d == null)
    alert('diagram is not loaded');
else
    d.copyToClipboard(); // should copy the selection to clipboard.  

Does the above work in your case?

Hi,

The copyToClipboard method copies all selected items to the clipboard. You can add items to the selection by using DiagramItem.setSelected(true), or via the Diagram.getSelection() property.

Hi,

With the sytemClipboard argument enabled, the control will assign the data to window.clipboardData object. That used to work between tabs at some point, but now seems disabled - probably because of security concerns. If you set the argument to false, copied data is saved as json in window.mf_clipboard field - you could try saving its value in browser's local storage to access from other tabs, and read from local storage just before calling paste.

Hi,

The only control you have over position is via the offset arguments of pasteFromClipboard method, where offsets are relative to original items' positions. You could save x/y coordinates of diagram.selection.bounds in your local-storage clipboard as well, and then specify offsetX/Y as the difference between wanted position and saved selection position when pasting -

d.pasteFromClipboard(cursorX - savedX, cursorY - savedY);
