[Tips] How to clone models "I copied the model. And then when I modify it, it also changes to the original one."
In this case, you want to [Clone] the model, not [Copy]. When you [Copy] the models, copied models and original models are still identical. Hence when you modify one model, the change will apply to the other. On the other hand, [Clone] will make a completely different model based on the original model. So even though you modify one, the change will never apply to the other. - How to clone models You can clone models in the structure tree. Let's clone the "Monitor" class with one attribute and two operations in the figure below. Right-click on the "Monitor" Class to open its Pop-up menu and then click [Clone]. Cloning the "Monitor" succeeded. The cloned model is "Monitor_0". Its attributes are also cloned, they are the same name as original ones but completely different models. So modifying one does not affect to the other.
