A Neat Trick – Using Phone Link for Copy/Paste

I'm finishing up a printed circuit board and I needed to change component info for a number of components. A number of components can be selected to paste a new parameter into all of them at once (manufacturer, part number, etc.), but copying a new value means all of the components get de-selected.

Wait.... using Microsoft's phone-link app, I can copy something on my phone, and paste it from my pc. This made it quick and easy to change all the needed values in the selected group of parts.
