Dragging and Dropping
Using drag-and-drop functionality, you can either move or copy an object amongst explorers.
You can select objects to move from the navigation pane on the left or a tab in the right pane.

The validity of the drop within an explorer depends on the following.
• The state of the part at the drop point.
• The mode of the explorer window. For example, the part may need to be checked out before drag-and-drop is valid (Product Structure Explorer only).
• Any relationship constraints, which determine valid associations among objects. See your administrator for more information.

Moving an Object
To move an object (similar to cut and paste):
1. Drag-and-drop the object from its current location to the desired location.
2. Enter the desired values in the fields that appear, and click OK.
The moved object now appears in the structure.
Copying an Object
While you can only move objects within one instance of explorer, you can copy parts to and from multiple instances of explorers. Drag from any valid source in one explorer instance and drop in another.

You can also use drag-and-drop to copy between Windchill HTML pages and Product Structure Explorer.

To copy an object (similar to a copy and paste operation), use the following procedure:
1. Hold the control key (typically CTRL), and drag-and-drop the object from its current location to the desired location.
A new window appears.
The copied object now appears in the structure.
