Pasting Elements

You can paste any cut or copied UML Diagram window component into a Diagram window, into selected third-party applications, or into an HTML document. When you cut or copy a component, the IDE removes it from the window and places it on a clipboard for you to paste. The copied item remains on the clipboard until you cut or copy another selection. You can paste a component from the clipboard as many times as you want.

To paste a component that you have cut or copied to the clipboard:

  1. In the destination Diagram window, choose the target location.
  2. Right-click the background of the destination window, and, under Edit, choose Paste.
    The IDE pastes the component in the target location.
  3. To paste the component outside the IDE in a destination application, choose the target location, and then press Ctrl-V.
    The IDE pastes the component in the target location.
