To paste copied objects to a new diagram

Copy the object(s) you want to paste onto a new diagram that you create on-the-fly.
Select Edit ® Paste to New Diagram.
In the Area drop-down list, select the area in which you want to create the new diagram. You can either create it in the current area or in the Global area.
In the Name box, type the name for the new diagram.
In the Description box, type an optional description for the new diagram.

All other diagram properties are inherited from the diagram you are copying from. You can, of course, always change them afterwards, if required.

In the Paste Copied Objects As group, select either Object (creates a new object based on the copied one) or Reference (creates a link to the original object).
Click OK.

The new diagram is created according to your specifications and the copied object(s) are placed on the diagram.

Tip

Use this function to quickly create very similar process diagrams. By using this function, you need not specify all the diagram properties and if the objects on the new diagram are also very similar to the original ones, you are just a few mouse clicks from completing the diagram.
