Copy elements from one diagram to another..

[speekna]

I'd like to create a diagram with selected elements from another diagram, without duplicating them in the underlying repository.  E.g., domain model has 50 classes.  I want to work with 10 of them.  Need to create a diagram with just those 10, & make sure that if I change an element in one diagram, it will change in the other.

Do I have to create a new diagram & drag each 10 onto the new diagram?  Or can I select the 10, copy, then paste them into a new diagram without creating new classes?

And - Suppose the diagram is a database model.  If I create a new diagram & drag (or paste) tables from an existing diagram into the new diagram, what happens when I transform the related domain model again - does it synch up with the original AND copied/dragged tables?  

Thanks!

I believe you can copy and paste them into the new diagram.

When you are in the target diagram, right click and select "paste objects as Links".

You can drag and drop elements and select insert as Links as well.

As for the database portion of your question, I don't know. 8-)

Transformed element are internally linked to each other. So your diagram will be updated as well.
