Right-clicking on one or more objects in the tree view, or selecting an object and clicking Edit in the menu toolbar, allows you to perform a number of editing operations on selected objects:
Note that it is only possible to Copy and Paste one object at a time.
To edit parameters for multiple objects simultaneously, you can select multiple objects of the same type in the Outline tree and make changes in the Details pane. The changes will be applied to all selected objects.
The editing operations that are available depend on the type of object selected.
Table 6.3: Availability of Editing Operations
| Geometric Features | Connections | Environment Features | Results Objects | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copy and Paste [a] | √ | √ | √ [b] | |
| Duplicate [a] [c] | √ [d] | √ | √ | |
| Propagate [a] [c] | √ | |||

| Delete | √ | √ | √ | √ |
[a] An object must be up-to-date (shown with a green check mark in the tree view) before the Copy, Duplicate and Propagate operations can be used.
[b] Only between analysis systems of the same Computation Type, or for graphical results between a Stability Analysis and a Time Response Analysis.
[c] Duplicate and Propagate use a separate clipboard than Copy. If you copy one object and then duplicate or propagate another, the data of the first object is still available to be pasted.
[d] Only on an object of which more than one per structure is permitted.
[e] On an object that has been created by a Propagate operation.
