Paste free-form texts from clipboard

You can paste texts from the clipboard as free-form texts.

Warning

Free-form texts are not saved in groups and are thus not protected by access privileges for groups. Therefore, it is possible to have reports output the free-form texts of models for which the person running the report does not have read privileges. Therefore, remember not to include confidential information in free-form texts but to use model and object attributes for that.

Procedure

  1. Select the required text, for example, in a word processor, and press Ctrl + C. The text is copied to the clipboard.
  2. Activate ARIS Architect/Designer, and open the model into which you want to paste the new free-form text.
  3. Right-click the model background and select Paste as > Free-form text in the pop-up menu. The mouse pointer changes and indicates that you want to paste free-form text.
  4. Click the position where you want to place the free-form text.

The new free-form text is placed.
