ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements

Description:
Copies a set of elements from source document to destination document.

Remarks:

Copies are placed at their respective original locations or locations specified by the optional transformation.

This method can be used for copying non-view specific elements only. For copying view-specific elements, use the view-specific form of the CopyElements method.

The destination document can be the same as the source document.

This method performs rehosting of elements where applicable.
