Chapter 8 Managing Objects

Pasting an object from the Clipboard

When you paste an object, you transfer its definition from the Clipboard to place it in a selected target window. You can paste objects into the following PowerDesigner targets:

• A container node (folder, model or package) in the Model Explorer tree view
• A diagram
• A list of objects

To paste an object from the Clipboard:

1. Select Edit→Paste from the PowerDesigner menu bar.
   
   or
   
   Press ctrl + V on the keyboard.
   
   or
   
   Right-click and select Edit→Paste from the contextual menu of an object.
   
   or
   
   Open a list of objects, select a line in the list and Press ctrl + V on the keyboard.
   
   
      Drag and drop + ctrl
   When you hold down the ctrl key during a drag and drop operation, you obtain the same result as a copy/paste operation.
