You can copy nodes in the
Schema Layout
tab or in the
Type Library tab using the following
procedures:
- Copy and paste a Child node
- Copy and paste a Sibling node
You can also use keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+C, CTRL+V, CTRL+X)
or the
Edit toolbar menu options (, , )
to copy nodes.
To copy and paste a Child node:
Pasting
a node as a child places the node inside the record or group you have
selected at the end of any existing children.
- Right-click the node you want to copy.
- Select Copy.
- Right-click the record or group that should be the parent of the
node you are pasting.
- Select Paste As Child.
If you paste a node within the same record or group that
you copied it from, the Flat File Schema Editor changes
the name of the new node to copy_node-name.
To copy and paste a Sibling node:
Pasting
a node as a sibling places it directly above the node you have selected.
This option is not available for the root node.
- Right-click the node you want to copy.
- Select Copy.
- Right-click the node that should come directly after the node
you are pasting.
- Select Paste As Sibling.
If you paste a node within the same record or group that you copied
it from, the
Flat File Schema Editor changes
the name of the new node to
copy_node-name.
