Pasting composite elements

Two advanced options are available for pasting Composite elements; these require the include Embedded Elements checkbox to be selected:

1.The All Embedded Elements option, which pastes all of the Composite element's embedded elements.
2.The Based on instance option, which pastes only the elements contained in a specific instance of the Composite element, maintaining the layout of the embedded elements.
 
Click on the drop-down arrow and select the appropriate instance.

 

For details of the other options on this dialog, see the Paste from Project Browser topic.
