Paste Special Window

The Paste Special window allows you to specify how the item(s) that were cut or copied in the System panel will be pasted.

The options in the Paste at this level section allow you to specify the level in the system hierarchy to which the item(s) will be pasted:

  • As system pastes to the top (system) level.
  • As same level pastes to the same level as the item that is currently selected. (This position also might be referred to as a "sibling.")
  • As next level pastes to the level below the item that is currently selected. (This position also might be referred to as a "child.")

The options in the Other Options section allow you to specify which associated data, if any, will be pasted along with the item(s).

  • Include lower level items pastes any lower level items (sub-items).
  • Include analyses pastes any associated analyses (i.e., PFD worksheet, risk discovery, analysis plan, FMEA, DRBFM, DVP&R or, control plan). If this check box is not selected, only the item properties and attachments (i.e., links/attachments, process flow diagram, FMEA Block Diagram, cause and effect diagram) will be pasted.
