Note:

Mentor Graphics recommends that you use COM versioning syntax in script examples that use GetObject and CreateObject. Without COM versioning, the script will access the last installation to which the release switcher pointed.

Set Doc = app.SchematicSheetDocuments.Open("Schematic1", "1")

'sheets to copy Schematic1/1/11/(1,2)
set sheets = createobject("viewdraw.stringlist") 
sheets.Append("1")
sheets.Append("2")

Set pathFrom = createobject("viewdraw.stringlist")
pathFrom.Append("Schematic1")
pathFrom.Append("1")
pathFrom.Append("11")

app.SchematicSheetDocuments.CopyToClipboard "11", sheets, pathFrom

msgbox "copied"

' destination Schematic1/2/nic
Set pathTo = createobject("viewdraw.stringlist")
pathTo.Append("Schematic1")
pathTo.Append("2")
pathTo.Append("nic")

set sheets2bereplaced = createobject("viewdraw.stringlist")

app.SchematicSheetDocuments.PasteFromClipboard "nic", pathTo, sheets2bereplaced
