Drag-and-drop
Drag-and-drop is an action performed with the mouse whereby a file is selected by clicking and then dragged from one location to another location. In the case of Studio data loading, this means dragging one or more loadable files into the 3D window, or by dragging and dropping file references in the Project Files or Project Data control bar into the 3D window.
The two main uses for drag-and-drop are the addition of files to the project and the loading of files. The table below summarizes the use of drag-and-drop of files and objects:
