Checked in extended copy/paste support.

Copy/paste in Modlr tree now does classes, attributes, methods, diagrams, ProcessDefinitions, ProcessSteps, ViewModels.

Tested in ECO/Modlr and Gaffr.net in VS2010 (should be the same in VS2008)

Copy and paste in Diagrams copies the PlacedClass. A class can have many PlacedClasses, and each PlacedClass points out 1 Class.

When you copy and paste in the diagram you get another PlacedClass with a reference to the same class.

This is by design and quite useful when re-engineering diagrams.

Copy & paste for the class itself was supposed to happen when you copy and paste in the modlr-tree. I ran into a small snag since I could not find a way to catch the keystrokes from within VS - This is of course a solvable and your post reminds me that this is still unsolved... Will look into it.

Copy Paste in Model Diagram

In version 5.0.0.4754 the feature to copy and paste within a model diagram was introduced. I have tried using this today for the first time and find that, although I can make a copy of a class and alter it as required, when I try to rename the copy the original class is also renamed. Unless I am missing something (which is quite possible) this makes the copy and paste unusable for classes.

David
