# Dumping Objects

You can create a dump from almost every control where a valid`r_object_id` is displayed and highlighted or selected. 

In such cases you can call the *Dump object* function from the appropriate context menu on the `r_object_id`. The dump will be opened in a separate window.

**Dump object from Clipboard**\
If the clipboard contains a valid `r_object_id`, you can generate a dump directly by clicking ***Extras** menu**>Dump Object from Clipboard*** function or by pressing Alt+D.\
If a valid session is not found, first the login history will be searched and, in case of success, an automatic login is established. If no session can be found or the automatic login fails, the login dialog box will be displayed.

Click and hold the left mouse button for 1 second on any value representing a valid Documentum r\_object\_id to load the respective object into the Object Navigator (see [object-navigator](https://docs.dqman.com/opentext-documentum-edition-23.2/object-navigator "mention"))
