You can copy models and objects and paste them into a database group. This allows you to use existing models to create new models that should also contain objects from the existing model (occurrence copies).
In contrast, pasting a model with objects creates definition copies of the source model's objects in the target model; so, the source model and target model use different objects.
If you copy objects in another group, definition copy are created so that you can use existing objects to create new objects that should retain some of the attributes of the source object.
Prerequisite
