Use this tool to rotate, move, scale, copy, cut, and paste text or a drawn object. Note that all strokes of an object must be within the marked area for you to be able to perform an action.
- Move an object by using the marker to draw a boundary around the text or object you want to move. Tap inside the boundary box and drag the object to the desired position. Tap outside the marked area to complete the action.
- Scale an object by using the marker to draw a boundary around the text or object you want to scale. Tap one of the corners and drag the corners to adjust the size. Tap outside the marked area to complete the action.
- Rotate an object by using the marker to draw a boundary around the text or object you want to rotate. Tap the circle on top of the boundary box and drag in the direction you want it to be rotated. Tap outside the marked area to complete the action.
- Copy or cut an object by using the Marker to draw a boundary around the text or object you want to copy. Note that you can only copy content you have produced on the device. Tap the plus-icon on the boundary box to create a copy of the object and drag the object to the desired location. Complete the action by tapping outside the marked area. To cut, follow the same procedure and simply tap the scissors icon instead of the plus icon. To paste, tap to place your cut or copied object on the relevant page with the Marker. After it has been pasted, your content will remain selected so that you can adjust it to fit with the rest of your work.
After you have copied or cut a selection you can paste it on any page, within any notebook or document. You’ll know your content has been copied or cut from the clipboard notification that appears at the bottom of the screen.
A selection will remain on your clipboard and can be pasted repeatedly, until you tap the Clear clipboard button, or restart your reMarkable. Clear clipboard is shown as an option whenever the selection tool is active.
- To mirror, just grab a corner of your selection and resize it past its opposite border to flip the content over. This can be done both horizontally and vertically.
