If you are using this command to copy a Subpart to the clipboard, we are going to assume you plan to paste it to another location. If this is the case, you might want to use the Navigator's Right-click Copy Commands.

This command provides more control over the placement of Subparts so you can easily copy them without having to rely on the Copy and Paste functions. When you use the left mouse button to drag-and-drop, the Selected Subpart will be deleted from its current position and moved to the location in which you release the mouse button. When you use the right mouse button to drag-and-drop, a pop-up menu displayed below opens providing more precise control on where you want the Subpart moved.

The Navigator's drag-and-drop Copy commands give more options and control over the regular copy commands mentioned above.  As illustrated, you can either copy the selected Subpart before, into, or after another Subpart.
