|---|
The following rules apply when you copy and paste objects within Windchill PDMLink and Arbortext Content Manager: • When you copy an object, any primary content or secondary content (such as attachments) is also included. • CAD documents are not eligible to be copied and pasted. Use the Move action instead. • When a part with dependents is copied and pasted, a new object, with no dependents, is created. • The Created By and Last Modified By fields are set to the user who copied and pasted the new object. • Date and time stamps are set to the current date and time. • The Windchill clipboard does not recognize keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste an object. |
For more information, see About the Windchill Clipboard.
