Editing Nodes

Standard shortcut keys (CTRL+C, CTRL+V, and CTRL+X) are used to perform editing operations on the nodes. To copy a node in the memory, select the node and then choose Edit > Copy from the menu bar. Next, click on the empty area of the Node Graph panel to deselect any selected node and then choose Edit > Paste from the menu bar; an exact copy of the selected node is created in the Node Graph panel.

Note: 
When you paste nodes, NukeX automatically connects them to the node that is selected before the paste command. 

Exporting Nodes as a Script

In Nuke, you can export nodes to an independent script file. It allows you to share your process tree with other artists in your team. To copy nodes to a Nuke script, choose File > Export Nodes As Script from the menu bar; the Export Nodes As Script dialog box will be displayed. Next, navigate to the folder where you want to save the script and enter name of the script in the pathname field. Next, choose the Save button. NukeX will save the selected node as a script with the specified name. Start Notepad and open the saved script in it to view its content. Figure 1 shows the content of the ColorCorrect node script opened in Notepad application.
