Copy nodes

About this task

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 (Edit > Cut, Edit > Copy, Edit > Paste) 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.
  1. Right-click the node you want to copy.
  2. Select Copy.
  3. Right-click the record or group that should be the parent of the node you are pasting.
  4. 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.
  1. Right-click the node you want to copy.
  2. Select Copy.
  3. Right-click the node that should come directly after the node you are pasting.
  4. 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.
