To Drag Objects Into an Element

Use this procedure to drag and drop objects into an element.

When you create a new element, you may choose to add content to it in several ways. You can draw objects within the element, you can reference one element into another, or you can drag and drop objects from other drawing files into an element.

1. Open the drawing that contains the objects you want to drag and drop into an element.
   Note: The drawing containing the objects is not required to be a part of a project.
2. On the Quick Access toolbar, click Project Navigator .
3. On the Constructs tab, locate the element to which you want to add objects from another drawing file.
4. In the open drawing file, select the objects you want to drag and drop into the element.
5. Move or copy the objects into the element:

   If you want to…	Then…
   move the objects from the open drawing to the element	drag the objects from the drawing onto the desired element in the Drawing Explorer.
   copy the objects from the open drawing to the element	press Ctrl and drag the objects from the drawing onto the desired element in the Drawing Explorer.

   Note: You can also drag the objects from the drawing onto a category in the Drawing Explorer to create an element.
