Copying Models

You can copy and paste a model into a models folder—or paste it into another model.

To copy a model:

  4. On the Edit menu, click Paste.

The model is copied into the selected folder. If the name already exists in List View, a number is appended—First Thoughts(2). In the open model, the copied models are displayed as new shapes with corresponding names and connectors.
