Copy and paste properties between elements

You can quickly copy properties from one element to another in the Design Studio without having to configure them again manually.

Use the Copy and Paste buttons in the element settings to transfer dimensions, position, colors, or shadows between compatible elements.

How to copy and paste properties

1. Select the element you want to copy properties from.

2. Expand the corresponding toolbox in the element settings to find the property you want to copy.

3. Click the Copy icon next to that property.

4. Select the element you want to apply those properties to.

5. Expand the corresponding toolbox and click the Paste icon next to the same property.

The copied settings will be applied to the second element.

Which properties can you copy?

Dimensions and position

Under Transform, you can copy and paste:

• Dimensions: Width and height.

• Position: Horizontal and vertical position.

These properties can be copied between any type of element, since all elements have Transform settings.

Color options

Under Color, you can copy and paste:

• Fill: All fill color options.

• Stroke: All stroke color options.

If the original element has multiple color options, all options are copied, so you don't need to recreate them individually.

Color properties can be copied and pasted between text elements.

Shadows

Under Shadow you can also copy and paste shadow settings and color options between elements that support shadows, including text and image elements.

Copying between different elements

You don't need to copy properties between the same kind of elements. You can copy settings between different elements, as long as both support the property you're copying.

For example, you can copy the dimensions of a calendar element and paste them onto an star map, or copy the shadow color options from a text element to an image.
