The Paste Elements Sub-Menu

Paste what is in the buffer as either a new element or as a link to the element.

Note: You can paste images from the Enterprise Architect Clipboard or the MS Windows clipboard. The Enterprise Architect clipboard takes precedence, so you must clear that clipboard before you can paste from the MS Windows clipboard.

Menu Option

Functionality and Function Keys

as Link

Paste the element in the buffer as a link (ie. a reference) to the element. [Shift]+[Insert]

If there are images in the MS Windows clipboard and none in the Enterprise Architect clipboard, you can:

·	Paste an image from the MS Windows clipboard into a new element as the appearance of the new element or

·	Paste an image from the MS Windows clipboard into the diagram as a new boundary's appearance.

as New

Paste the element in the buffer as a completely new element. [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[V]

Paste Image from Clipboard

Paste the element in the Enterprise Architect Clipboard into the same diagram or a different diagram, as a metafile (that is, a definition of the element) as many times as is necessary. [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Insert]

If you paste the element into a different diagram, the classifier identifies the source diagram for the element.
