Select all elements of you usercontrol on the diagram and press Ctrl-c (copy)
Then go to the target diagram and press Ctrl-V (paste)
That will also copy the layout to the new diagram.

Why do you think that?
To make a copy of the elements you need to press Shift-Ctrl-V

By Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V on the same view - the error dialog says:
"Only one instance allowed."

I do not want any instance, I want a reference! ;)

Ok my next test was:
Draw userControl on a view - and on another view in a control again via Ctrl+c ... Ctrl + v.
The result is confusing!
The usercontrols in the project tree moves from the folder to the element on the other view. Shown in the clip.

You can only show one reference to an element on a single diagram (except in v 12.1, there you can somehow add multiple representations on the same element on a diagram)

Yes, the fact that your elements are being relocated can be quite confusing and annoying.
You can turn this behavior off by unchecking "Tools|Options|Objects|Support for Composite Objects", but then it will be turned off for everything.

Ok.
Thanks.

Is v12.1 a beta release?
I don't found a download link.
