Moving and copying objects

You can move and copy the following objects within the Type Designer by using the drag-and-drop method:

• Types (within the same tree)

  When you drag a type from one tree to another, it is copied to the other tree because it is copied from one type tree file to another.

• Components (from one view to another)
• Restrictions (from one view to another)

  Duplicate restrictions are not permitted.

When you move or copy a type using the drag-and-drop method, the entire subtree of the type is also moved or copied. The properties, components, component rules, and restrictions are also copied.

If a type cannot be a subtype of the type you are dragging it to, you will not be able to drag it. For example, you cannot move an item under a group.
