Pasting Elements
You can paste any cut or copied UML Diagram window component into a Diagram window, into selected third-party applications like Microsoft Word, 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.
- The IDE fully utilizes the Microsoft Windows copy buffer, which means you can copy components from any UML model and place them in Microsoft applications. Because the IDE automatically pastes copied graphics into third-party applications, you do not need to export images from the IDE or import them into these applications.
To paste a component that you have cut or copied to the clipboard:
- In the destination Diagram window, choose the target location.
- Right-click the background of the destination window, and, under Edit, choose Paste.
The IDE pastes the component in the target location.
- 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.
