Add a copy of the existing objects to a structure

In cases where a new occurrence that is very similar to an existing occurrence is added to a structure, you can add a copy of the existing occurrence to the structure instead of creating a new occurrence. The copied occurrence is added with a new ID, and it retains the properties of the occurrence from which it is copied.

Procedure

1. Click the Add icon and select the required option.
2. In the Add Child or Add Sibling pane (depending on the option that you chose), in the Palette or Search dialog box, select the object that you want to copy.
3. Click Add Copy to add a copy of the existing element with a new ID. You can also copy an occurrence from one structure to a different structure using the drag-and-drop action. This action copies the occurrence and does not remove it from the source structure. You can use drag-and-drop between similar web browser windows to copy occurrences from a location in one window to another accepting object or location in another window. Click and hold the occurrence that you want to copy. Drag the occurrence to the desired location in the target structure. Drop the occurrence on to a valid accepting object in the target structure.
