• Click the “Paste nodes into map” icon on the icon bar
• Enter [Alt]+V from the keyboard
These commands will only be available if there are cut nodes currently on the clipboard.
If nodes are pasted partially or completely on top of one another, you can use the Layout
Map command (see page 12-19)to rearrange them.
Cutting and pasting multiple nodes will not preserve manually-created links
between the nodes. Links that are automatically discovered will be recreated after
the nodes are pasted, but links that were created manually must be recreated
manually.
If an L2 cloud node was among those you selected to cut, it will not necessarily be
pasted with the other nodes. It will be placed automatically on a submap, if
necessary, as determined by EPICenter.
Deleting Nodes from the Map
You can delete selected device, decorative, or text nodes from the map, as opposed to
cutting them for later pasting.

• You cannot delete hypernodes.A hypernode is deleted automatically when the actual
node it represents is deleted
• L2 cloud nodes are deleted when they are no longer needed. You can also delete them
manually
To delete one or more nodes, do the following:
1 Select the nodes you want to delete. You can select multiple nodes by using Shift-click
(hold down the shift key and click the cursor on the node you want to select).
2 Select Delete Map Nodes from the Edit menu to delete the node or nodes.
You will NOT be asked to confirm that you want to delete the nodes. If you delete
nodes accidently, you will need to add them again to the map.
