Paste Elements
It is possible to paste an element into a diagram from the Enterprise Architect clipboard or the MS WindowsTM clipboard, either as a hyperlink to the original element or as a new element. The Enterprise Architect clipboard takes precedence, so you must clear that clipboard before you can paste from the MS Windows clipboard.

Paste the element in the buffer as a link (that is, a reference) to the element. If there are images in the MS Windows clipboard and none in the Enterprise Architect clipboard, you can:

as New |
Paste each element in the buffer as a completely new element. The Paste Element(s) as New dialog displays, listing the copied elements and providing a default name for the new instance of each element. If you want to apply your own element name to the new element, overtype the New Element Name field. Each listed element defaults to selected, to be pasted into the diagram. If you do not want to paste a new instance of an element held in the clipboard, deselect the checkbox against it. If you want to include the connectors between the copied elements, select the Include Connectors checkbox.
