Overview: Cut, copy and paste objects

The cut, copy and paste functions in IGSS Definition allow you to easily move and copy objects within diagrams or between diagrams.

Cut moves the selected object(s) to the clipboard allowing you to paste them onto the current diagram or another diagram.
Copy creates a copy of the selected object(s) on the clipboard allowing you to paste them onto the current diagram or another diagram.
Paste inserts the clipboard contents in either of two ways. Paste Object creates a new object based on the copied one which you must then rename. Paste Reference merely inserts a link to the original IGSS object allowing you to have references to the same object on multiple diagrams. In that case, the object properties are maintained in one place and are automatically updated for all references. You are free to use different symbols for the individual references.
Paste to New Diagram inserts the copied objects from one diagram to a new diagram that you create on-the-fly. You can choose to either paste the copied object(s) as new object(s) or as references as described above. When you paste, the new diagram is created according to your specifications and the object(s) you copied are placed on the new diagram.
