6.10 Copying, cutting, and pasting elements
The functions for copying, cutting and pasting elements correspond to the
Windows standard and can be used in the tree and the table as well as between
the tree and the table.
When copying and cutting, the entire subtree of an element, if it exists, is placed on
the clipboard. Copied and cut elements can be pasted in one after another at
various positions.
When pasting, the customer text and other data are transferred. Properties,
for example the element's address, are updated according to the new position in
the tree.
