If you want to copy a diagram to another diagram -- copying everything on the diagram, including shape text and properties of the shape (e.g. for simulation purposes) -- you can do the following:
-
View the iGrafx Explorer Bar (go to the View menu, and choose Explorer Bar; or click the Explorer Bar button on the Toolbox toolbar).
-
Right-click (click your right mouse button) in the Explorer Bar listing on the diagram you wish to copy, and choose Copy.
-
If you want to paste it into the same file, right-click (in the Explorer Bar) and choose Paste. If you want to paste into another file, open that file first, and then right-click and choose Paste.
If you want to copy a section of the diagram (e.g. the shapes in some portion of your diagram) to another section of the diagram, then:
-
Lasso select the items/section of the diagram (with your selector tool arrow cursor, press-and-hold the mouse button, dragging the cursor to draw a box completely around the things you want selected)
-
Choose Edit > Copy (or Ctrl+c)
-
Choose Edit > Paste (Ctrl+v)
-
Move the items to where you want them to be. To move a shape, place your arrow cursor over the light gray (stippled) border of the selected shape(s) until you get the cursor with 4 arrowheads (one pointing in each direction of the compass), and drag (press-and-hold, drag, release) the mouse to where you want the items to be.
