From the Node menu, you can select these options:

  • Take –– Copies a node to the Clipboard from which you can insert it, move it, reorder it, or paste its properties somewhere else.

  • Go to Node — Takes you to the selected node in the tree view

  • Properties — Displays the node properties on the Properties tab
