Pasting an item from the clipboard:

• On a diagram, depending on the item and diagram type either:

◦ Creates another instance of that item.

◦ Creates a new item with the same name.

• In a Modeler pane, either:

◦ Creates the copied item as a new child item of the destination item. For example, when copying an Attribute and pasting to a Class.

◦ Creates a link between the source and destination item. For example, when copying a Class and pasting to a Package.
