Copy And Paste Of Cells

Whole cells can be copied to the clipboard as well. To copy a whole cell, select the cell in the hierarchy browser (make sure the focus is in that window) and choose "Copy" or "Cut" from the "Edit" menu. To paste such a cell into a target layout, choose "Paste" from the "Edit" menu.

Copying a cell from one layout to another provides a way to merge two layouts into one: simply copy the top cell of the first layout into the second one and instantiate both in a new top cell for example.
