# Create new components

Some editors, such as the Graphics Display, Macros, and Parameters editors, can create multiple components (or files). If an editor can create multiple components, its context menu includes New and Add component into application. Editors that cannot create more than one component only have Open on their context menus.

## To create a new component, use one of the following methods:

- Drag the component icon into the workspace.
- Right-click the editor and select New.
- From the File menu, select New, and then select the type of component to create.

## To copy an existing component

1. In the Explorer window, select the editor that will use the component.
2. Right-click the editor and select Add Component Into Application.
3. In the Browser window, navigate to the location of the component you want to copy.
4. Select the component and click Open.
