Reusing a read-only copy of an object
This topic explains how to reuse a copy of an object in another container for reference, not modification.
About this task
Use Paste Reference to share one object among different containers. There is one instance of the object in the database, but it is accessible from more than one place in the hierarchy. The reused copy cannot be modified in other containers; it is for reference only.
To reuse multiple objects, you can select a range (Shift+click), or individual objects (Control+click); you can also combine these selection methods to add to, or subtract from, a range of selected objects.
