I've pasted an object, some Scripts and some Custom Functions, and currently there is an Object selected, which also shows the PDF representation of the object at the time it was copied.įrom here you can do all the usual things you can do with a FileMaker text field. What does Clip Manager look like?īelow is an example of what you can put into Clip Manager in BaseElements 17. If you're working in another file, BaseElements could be purely a Clip Manager storage location for you.

You don't even need to have a DDR from that solution in BE. If the cursor is not in a field, it will create a new record with your copied object as XML. There's nothing to it really, open Clip Manager by clicking it's icon, and then just hit Paste ( CMD-v / Ctrl-v ).

How do I get to Clip Manager?Īny time you want to open the Clip Manager, just click the icon in the toolbar. The best thing about the Clip Manager is that your clips are kept in a separate FileMaker file in your Preferences folder, so you can upgrade to new versions of BE or switch copies, or move from local to server and the clips you've previously used are retained. BaseElements version 17 introduces a new Clip Manager function to allow you to store copied FileMaker data inside BaseElements for future use.įor example, if you're working in a solution and need a script or a set of script steps that you're going to repeat a few times, you can paste them into BE and then copy them back out at any time.
