Getting Started

Copying parts

After you have added a part, you can copy that part instead of adding another one from the parts palette. Copying a part is one method of adding multiple copies of the same part (other than using the Sticky option from the parts palette). One obvious advantage to copying a part is that you may make common basic modifications to one part and simply copy it as often as needed.

Note:Copying a part or parts with connections does not duplicate the connections.
  1. Hold down the Ctrl key and click with the appropriate mouse button on the part you want to copy.
    Note:In OS/2, AIX, HP-UX and Sun Solaris use mouse button 2 to copy parts. In Windows, use mouse button 1.
  2. Drag the mouse pointer to the position where you want the new part and release the mouse button and the Ctrl key.

You can copy several parts at once by first selecting all the parts you want to copy. You may then press the Ctrl key and grab any selected part and drag a copy of your parts to their new location.
