Copying and duplicating model elements

You can either copy or duplicate model elements across whiteboards. Copy creates a new instance of the same shape. Duplicate creates completely a new shape.

Procedure

Copying an element:

A new instance of the shape is created and any change to the copied shape is reflected in the parent shape as well and vice versa.

Duplicating an element:

The duplicated element is new and is independent of the parent shape.
