Copy/Cut part of a map?

[gRaViJa]

In rmxp I could select a part of a map, cut it and paste it somewhere else. This came in handy when i misjudged the size of a map for example. It looks like this function doesn't exist anymore in MV?

Screenshot in XP:

You can shift the map by X/Y cells (right click on the map name, shift). Also if you maintain the right click button it selects a part of the map. You can copy that same part elsewhere by left clicking after this.

Sadly that feature doesn'tt exist anymore.

You can use the Shift feature which moves the whole map though, but it doesn't quite work the same,

You can copy the tiles holding down the right mouse key and then move it. Then just left click to place it.

have you tried right clicking, then left clicking in the new area? it won't cut, but it will paste

Okay, i'll try it out. Never used VX or VX Ace, so I have to get accustomed to come changes.

Actually, it's not quite the same thing... Right clicking is eyedropper functionality, and will only set the active brush to whatever is right clicked on.  However I do not believe it'll copy all layers and allow you to paste it elsewhere, it only sets the current tile brush.

It copies all the layers. You can just create one patch, right-click + drag to select it, and that's basically copy/paste.

Yup, it works pretty well once you understand how it functions. Still a bigger fan of the XP function though
