When two or more points are selected, you can use the Cut (Ctrl/Cmd+X), Copy (Ctrl/Cmd+C), and Paste (Ctrl/Cmd+V) menu commands in the Edit menu to copy the selected points to a buffer where they can be pasted back into the project. When a curve is pasted, it appears in its original location. If the original object still remains because you did a Copy command, the pasted curve won’t be visible, but if you move one of the selected sets of points, the pasted copy will be visible.
Note
Whenever a curve is pasted in the working area, the Translate Points tool is automatically selected regardless of the selected tool when the paste is done.
When curves are pasted back into a project, they are pasted into the current layer. This provides a way to move objects between layers using the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands.
