Making Changes to Your Diagram

Edit menu options generally pertain to the Diagram Window. You use this
menu to make standard editing changes to your diagram, such as cut,
copy, and paste.

You also use this menu to select editing features that are specific to GML
Commander, such as moving and searching. These options are described
in this section.

Selecting All

Use the Select All option to select all the elements in the Diagram
Window. This option is often used with other editing changes to your
diagram, such as aligning and spacing.

To select the entire diagram that appears in the Diagram Window:

1. From the menu bar, select Edit. The Edit menu appears.

2. Choose Select All. Every block and connection is highlighted.

Copying a Block

Use the Copy and Paste options to copy an existing block, and all of its
current field and parameter settings, in a diagram one or more times.

To copy a block:

1. Select the block you want to copy.

2. From the menu bar, select Edit. The Edit menu appears.

3. Select Copy.

4. Select Paste. A duplicate of the block, without connection lines,

appears next to the block that you originally selected.

You can paste the block as many times and to as many locations within
your diagram as you need.
