• You can copy and paste slot values even when the SCT configuration is locked.

• As with other updates, pasted values are updated in the model itself, and you must save the model to preserve the new values.

• You can copy values from only one slot at a time; similarly, you can paste to only one slot at a time. To copy from or paste to multiple slots, you must perform multiple operations.

• You can paste values to a different slot only if the destination slot has the same unit type as the source slot.

• Similarly, you can paste values to slots in a different SCT, provided the unit types are the same.

• You cannot paste to read-only slots, such as expression slots and certain accounting system slots. Read-only slots are indicated by crosshatching in a user-defined Read-only color.

• In a default paste, non-Input values are pasted to the destination cells as NaNs, as follows.

– Best Efficiency (B), Drift (D), Max Capacity (M), and Unit Values (U) values are pasted to the destination cells as NaNs while retaining the source type flag.

– Other non-Input values are pasted as NaNs with an Output (O) flag.

• To paste all values as Input (I), you must explicitly specify the Paste Cells as Input option (or press Ctrl+N).

• The final timestep value of a Target Operation is copied to the destination with the Target (T) flag, and the Begin Target is pasted if an explicit Begin Target timestep was defined—but only if the entire Target Operation was included in the copied selection.

• Pasted values are assigned to the destination cells using standard units, which are then converted to display units. This means that if the source and target slots have different display units (cubic feet per second vs cubic meters per second, for example), the pasted values will appear to be different than the source values; the underlying quantities represented by the display values will be the same, however.

• Copy and paste operations use the RiverWare internal clipboard and therefore can be done within RiverWare only. To copy and paste values to and from external applications, see Exporting and Importing Slot Values.

• If you copy non-contiguous cells, the gaps are honored by the paste operation. The values are pasted in the same non-contiguous pattern, starting with the first target cell selected, and destination cells that correspond to gaps in the pattern are left unchanged. For example, if you copy every other cell for a total of three cells, the values are pasted to every other cell starting with the first target cell selected.

• In aggregated view, copying a summary cell copies the values of all timesteps in the aggregation interval.

• The ways values are pasted vary based on the number of values you are copying, the target selection, and whether aggregation is enabled in the SCT.

– Table 3.1 provides details about copying and pasting when aggregation is not enabled.

– Table 3.2 provides details about copying and pasting when aggregation is enabled.
