COPY & PASTE
Apply a finished look to other characters instantly
Copy parameters such as stroke width and fill color from one character or part and paste them onto another with a single click. Dramatically speeds up typography work that repeats the same style.
- Paste only selected items
- Mix characters and parts
- Duplicate entire instances
How to Use
- Set Page to
Copy / Paste. - In the preview, select one character or part as the copy source and click Copy Selection (or press WinAlt+Shift+YMacOption+Shift+Y).
- In Paste Target Attributes, turn ON only the parameters you want to paste.
- Select the destination characters or parts (multiple selections are supported).
- Click Paste to Selection (or press WinAlt+Shift+UMacOption+Shift+U).
NOTE
The source and destination can be a mix of characters and parts. Parameters that exist only on one type (for example, the character-only Margin After pasted to a part) are skipped automatically.
Choosing What to Paste
Paste Target Attributes lets you toggle items individually by category. By default, only styling attributes (color, stroke, and shadow) are ON, while transform attributes and Margin After are OFF so pasting styles does not overwrite character positions.
| Category | Main Items | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Transform | Offset (position Pos) / Pivot / Scale / Rotation / Stretch (X and Y can be selected separately) | OFF |
| 3D Transform (3D presets only) | Z Offset / Yaw / Pitch | OFF |
| Color | Use Individual Color / Color | ON |
Character Only (char only) | Stroke settings / Shadow color (ON), Margin After (OFF) | Partially ON |
For example, enabling only Offset X lets you paste "just the horizontal position" to line characters up.
TIP
The copied values are those from the frame at which you clicked Copy Selection. Keep the same character or part selected and paste at another frame to duplicate its own settings from a different point in time - for example, to hold an animation.
Duplicating an Entire Instance
Copy / Paste Entire Instance Settings copies all parameters of the effect instance to the operating system clipboard as JSON, ready to paste into another instance. This is useful, for example, for carrying a design over from a Lite preset to a standard one.
See Copy / Paste for the details of every item.
