Copy part studio

Could anyone say if it is possible to copy a part studio from one document to another. I have tried the copy to clip board command but cannot find how to paste from clipboard into the new document. could someone
point me in the right direction please.

Thank you Brian.

Paste is in the + menu bottom left corner.

Are you sure you want copy/paste?  This loses all associativity between the Part Studios.  Are you sure you don't want derived:

If you are just trying things out with a design, may I suggest branching?  It will allow you to branch into a number of different design iterations and then merge back the one you like without leaving your document.

Many thanks Neil,
Also Jake, As it happens no associativity is what I need as I am only trying different things out, However now I know it is the derived feature I need to keep associativity. Once again thanks for your help  Brian

Thanks Jake, Yes this is the best way forward, have tried branching before but in this case never gave it a thought.
