When an action or configuration file requires a data address, the following syntax options are available:
| syntax | description | example |
|---|---|---|
| pcb | currently edited board's data | pcb |
| buffer#IDX | one of the paste buffers; IDX is an integer starting from 0 | buffer#2 use data in paste buffer number 2 |
| buffer | currently active paste buffer | buffer |
Note: "data" in this context means a database (that holds layers and global objects like subcircuits and padstacks), not actual data (as in drawing primitives).
