Although the most common way to insert a new element is to use the context menu in the graphics pane, you can also insert an element by using the context menu of a Container element or by selecting Model | Insert Element from the main menu. In both cases, you will be presented with a menu from which you can select an element to insert.
When using these two methods, you cannot control where on the graphics pane the element is inserted. It will always be inserted in the upper left-hand corner of the graphics pane.
If the context menu of a Container is used, the element will be inserted in the selected Container. If the main menu is used, the element will be inserted in the current Container.
