 Move From Dumpster
• Elements can be moved from the Dumpster into
the one-line diagram with the same name IDs by
using the following methods:

1. Right-click on the one-line diagram and select

Move From Dumpster

2. Click on Edit on the Menu Bar and select “Move

From”

 Move From Dumpster
• Rules:

• Move From Dumpster can be done only under

“Edit” mode and “Base” revision data

• Deleted Items (element groups) must be

present in Dumpster beforehand

• IDs of the moved elements, along with the

connections, status, and properties are
preserved

 Move From Dumpster

• Move desired Dumpster cell group by selecting from

the Dumpster window

• Move From Dumpster capability also supported inside

Composite Networks

• Both sections of Remote Connector element must be

moved from the dumpster at the same time
