If the context menu paste is used or the short-cuts Ctrl+v or Shift+Insert, the parts will be placed at the cursor position. Repeated Pastes without moving the cursor result in overlaid copies. The newly pasted parts are in Selected state and can easily be moved into place. Any previously selected objects are unselected.
