The Drag & Drop function is generally available for every selection in TiCon. The function can be used to easily copy selected objects from one place to another or assign them using the mouse. For a Drag & Drop action, selected elements are moved to the required target location while the left mouse button is pressed (drag) and inserted by releasing the mouse button (drop). If the target location is invalid, this is indicated with a prohibition sign.

The automatic tab change can be used when a structure line is to be copied into the structure of a different element using drag & drop. Select the line and drag it to the element into which it is to be inserted. When the mouse cursor is positioned over the target structure tab, the focus changes from the header to the structure tab. The line can then be placed.

2.If dragged ON TO A row in the target element, this row is overwritten with the first value from the structure lines and all of the other rows expire and are not inserted.
