Replacing an Element with the Copy and Paste Functionality

This feature enables you to copy and paste an element from within a project, outside the project, or local to project.

You can perform this action using one of the following methods:

• Menu

• Edit > Copy

• Edit > Paste

• Hot Key

• CTRL + C (copy)

• CTRL + V (paste)

• Mouse

• Right-click (context menu, and choose copy or paste)

You can copy and paste (drag and drop) an element from

• Within a project

• Project to project

• Local to project

When the element you copied already exists in the destination location, a dialog box opens. This dialog box gives you the option to either replace the existing file or save the file with a different name that can be filled in the text box provided.

Note:

• A Name Conflict dialog box will appear if the target location contains a file name that matches the name of the file that you want to drag and drop. You can resolve the conflict by providing a new name. The file with the new name is copied to the target location and the corresponding link is added to the project.

• It is not possible to perform drag and drop operation when Eclipse IDE is not connected to the network.

• When you are replacing the existing element with the copied element, the Name text box is grayed out.

• When the selection is more than one element, check Apply all to replace the existing elements.

• When you are saving the element with a different name, OK is disabled until the time a unique name is provided.

• Clicking on Cancel aborts the operation.
