This project contains sample code to demonstrate how to copy text to the clipboard in an Aras client-side action. It also demonstrates how to use PE_GetSelectedItems to execute an action on multiple selected items in the Aras Innovator client.
Note: The sample method was developed using the Part ItemType, but it can be easily adapted for any ItemType.

- Open the ItemType you want to add the action to. The sample code was developed for the Part ItemType, but will work OOTB for CAD and Document as well.
- In the ItemType, add the Copy to Clipboard action to the Actions tab.
- Save your changes to the ItemType.
You are now ready to login to try out the Copy To Clipboard action.

If you are using a browser that allows programmatic access to the clipboard (IE, Chrome), the selected item(s) info will be copied to the clipboard. If you are using a browser that does not allow clipboard access, you will see a dialog appear with the item info and an instruction to copy the content using Ctrl+C.
