Copy / Paste Properties

Hello, I have had success with cutting and pasting Behaviors but not Properties. Is it possible to cut and paste Property parameters (Transform - Position, rotation, etc.)? And if so, how?
Thanks,
Ines

Rather than copy-paste, try dragging the parameter you want from the Inspector onto the target layer in the Layers tab.

Tween : copy / paste properties not working on a particular tween

Hello,
I'm making very simple tweens with the "new" (not classic) method.
I want the object to move only after a while so I'm trying to duplicate start position to a later keyframe but, for some reason, it just doesn't work on my project whereas it work on a test file.
I copy and paste properties of the first frame to the other keyframe but it's not applied at all.
1 = start position
2 = keyframe with pasted properties but position is still the same (between 1 and 3)
3 = end position
Any reason why this wouldn't work ? Thanks.

3 is a keyframe. it doesn't matter what you change in keyframe 2. keyframe 3 is unchanged and is expected to remain unchanged unless you change it.
start over and drag the start (keyframe 1) to frame 12 where you want the tween to start. if you want the tween to end on frame 24, remove some frames from that tween after moving its start (and end).

How can I copy linked properties without losing the link to the control?

I've been dealing with an annoying issue when copying/pasting properties. If the properties are linked to a control when I copy them, they lose that link in the pasted version.
Basically, copy/paste is not really following the expected behavior of "copying" in that the resulting "paste" is different from the item being copied. Is there a way around this besides having to manually go to each one and re-link it?
Below are snippets to demonstrate the problem:
Before Pasting
After Pasting:
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The behavior you're seeing is, unfortunately, not unique to you. It's the way LabVIEW works. Until enough people complain and get NI to change it, that is. Omar's link to the proposed idea is one.
An alternative is to right-click and drag. This creates a copy. At least when you're within the same VI, that is. This, and other nifty tricks can be found in the Quick Reference Card.

PSD-layered - copy and paste properties to layers in Motion?

Hi,
I imported a layered photoshop file into Motion.
I applied certain properties to one layer (with key frames, such as rotate, scale, shadow...) and I want to know if there is a way to copy those properties and paste them onto the other layers so I can then go in and do certain tweaks, without having to do each layer from scratch...
(This is something that you can do in FinalCut, copy and past attributes, but I can't seem to find that option in Motion.)
Thanks

you can do this by selecting the layers with the properties you want, then in the inspector, drag and drop the parameters onto the the layer you want them applied to.

Copied/pasted group of components lose many properties

(Xcelsius 2008 SP1 FP1 5.1.1.0 (Build 12,1,1,344), Windows XP SP2)
After copying/pasting 120 or so grouped components all at once, the Value, Check box and Toggle components seemed to lose most of their properties. The main container within the group of copied objects is a panel container that included nested groups of labels, rectangles, values, check boxes and toggles.
Specific example: All Value components originally had a title position of "Left" and specific font name/sizes. They also had specific X axis offsets. And of course, each was pointed to a specific spreadsheet cell. The copies, however, reverted to the respective defaults for all properties minus the text of the titles. (This is of course not an exhaustive list of the affected components/properties).
I have already had experience copying smaller groups of components and did not see this effect, so I wonder if there is a threshold of some kind here.

Thank you, Purnima. Despite my fears, copying and pasting smaller groups within the larger nesting appears to be working out pretty well, so this may become a non-issue for me. Nevertheless, it would be great if a future version of Xcelsius would support larger groups within a copy and paste.

Acrobat 9.0 pro extended: copying / pasting highlights to word

Hi there
I've highlighted a number of paragraphs in a document, thinking that I would then just be able to quickly select the highlights and copy and paste them into a word doc. But although I can select a highlight, I can't copy / paste it :-/ Any help would be much appreciated! :-) Thank you in advance :-)

InDesign CS6 + Yosemite + Copy/Paste = Missing font

We use ITC Franklin Gothic throughout all of our pieces; it's installed and it's the default font setup. New and existing files have opened without issue until now. I opened an advertisement that needed to be resized, from our shared server and copied the contents. In a new document, I pasted the contents suddenly the font says it's missing. The images retained their links to the packaged folder on the server, the fonts just stopped working. I closed InDesign, then disconnected from the server in case there was some kind of conflict between the local font and the server font override from the packaged fonts folder (packaged from the local font installed, I made the source ad this same way). Loaded the new file, and got the expected missing links dialogue, but unexpectedly the fonts were still missing. I reviewed the missing fonts, and it was the entire family. I opened Suitcase, verified the fonts are active. Still no fonts in InDesign. Okay, disactivated font in Suitcase (maybe it needs an update), installed the font in Fontbook, need to get the ad done and I don't have time for this. Verified font works by opening a different file, making a new document, but as soon as I opened the ad with the missing the fonts, fonts go missing. I then changed the fonts to a different family, and tried changing them back, but the font doesn't even show in the list of fonts. I can't figure out why this particular method of copy and paste breaks the font. I've opened and created other files with this font family active, while this copy/paste file is open at the same time in another tab while it still says "no". The only work around I could use was to copy the entire packaged folder from the server to my desktop and just change the document properties to the size I need, then adjust the artwork to fit.
I'd like to find a resolution as to why copying and pasting broke this font even though the same missing font works fine simultaneously in a different document. Any suggestions/questions/thoughts/solutions would be very welcome.

Update: Looking through the font list, Franklin is being listed as a different font. Though the character palette, the font selected is ITC Franklin Gothic Std Book; the font listed in the Type drop-down menu is Myriad Pro, and once that was deactivated, Helvetica.

i don't see how that could be the case because I originally installed the font, created and packaged the ad, and the font is available for typesetting in a new document while this problematic document is open without being connected to the server.
I upgraded to creative cloud 2014 and this particular document is still a problem. This font issue is limited to this sole document. I'm guessing it has something to do with the copy and pasting. Tomorrow, I'll try replacing the font to something else and then copy/pasting it in the same way if it recreates the same problem with a different font.

2008r2 RDS Copy / Paste issue between remote app and client

I am running a 2008r2 Remote App server with Win7/XP(sp3) clients. All devices are up to date on current service packs and patches. I can open RDWeb applications and paste between other RDWeb applications, but cannot paste from RDWeb to local
applications. I can also paste between various locally running applications, but not from a local application to an RDWeb application. Each machine is maintaining it's own paste buffer, but not exchanging between the server and local machine.
I have tried using different applications on both local and remote app, with the same results (Word, excel, notepad).
I have verified the client and server settings are set to allow printer and clipboard resources, and have verified that there are no GPO's applied to either the server or client.
I have tried to include as much relative information as I can, please feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to get back to you as quickly as possible.
Any help resolving this is most appreciated!
Sean

Hi Sean,
I wish most of the posters would be as detailed as you are. Good troubleshooting! :)
Two things to try:
1) when you connect DIRECTLY to the server via MSTSC and set a checkbox in the OPTIONS/Local Resources - to share Clipboard - do you then get the Copy paste working?
IF SO
2) Then please make sure that the Published applications - RemoteApp - have an additional line (Custom RDP settings) in properties (you miht need to recreate the RemoteApp's
redirectclipboard:i:1
then it should work.

Copy / Paste Styles between objects?

Can you copy/paste styles between different objects in Motion 5?
I know I can save a Style as a name and then select it from the style list. It would be great to just copy a style and then select another object and paste. Can you do this?
Thanks!
Scot

Motion lets you drag and drop parameters on different things. If the action is "not allowed" you won't be able to do it. That said, if you have a rectangle located somewhere on the screen and you want to line up text over the rectangle, just drag the Position parameter of the rectangle onto the text layer in the layers list.
For "like" objects, for instance: shapes, you can drag the Outline and Fill panels (the entire panel!) onto another shape and all of the contained parameters will be copied over. So, if you have a red outlined (say 10 px wide), blue filled rectangle, and you want the same properties on a circle, just drag those panes (click on "Fill" And "Outline") onto the circle.
If all you want to do is save styles of shapes, or text, that you've created, then for shapes, on the Style inspector theres a Shape Style dropdown at the top of the parameters list. Click that and Save Shape Style. Whatever your current settings are, they can be saved and reselected from that menu. For text, at the top of the Style inspector, you'll generally see Normal (in whatever that layers font is.) Click on that bar and select Save All Basic + Style Attributes.

InDesign CS4 & IDML & Copy & Paste Bug

Hello, i have build an InDesign CS 4 document with javascript; like this //HelloWorld.jsx //Create a new document. var myDocument = app.documents.add(); //Get a reference to the first page. var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0); //Create a text frame. var myHelloTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.add(); //Specify the size and shape of the text frame. myHelloTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["6p0", "6p0", "18p0", "18p0"]; //Enter text in the text frame. myHelloTextFrame.contents = "Hello World!"; var myStory = myHelloTextFrame.parentStory; myStory.trackChanges=true; myStory.insertLabel("innerText1","dbkey2211"); var myInnerTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.add(); //Specify the size and shape of the text frame. myInnerTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["6p0", "30p0", "18p0", "42p0"]; //Enter text in the text frame. myInnerTextFrame.contents = "ziemlich sinnfreier Text"; var myInnerStory = myInnerTextFrame.parentStory; myInnerStory.trackChanges=true; myInnerStory.insertLabel("innerText2","dbkey3322"); //Save the document (fill in a valid file path). var myFile = new File("/c/HelloWorld.indd"); var result = "saved to: " + myFile.fullName; if(!myFile.parent.exists && !myFile.parent.create()) { result = "Not saved. Unable to create the folder: " + myFile.parent.fullName; } else { myDocument = myDocument.save(myFile); } //Close the document. myDocument.close(); result; so i get the "HelloWorld.indd" file ... so far so good. Now i load this in InDesign and export it as IDML. I get for example this story <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <idPkg:Story xmlns:idPkg="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/idml/1.0/packaging" DOMVersion="6.0"> <Story Self="ue0" AppliedTOCStyle="n" TrackChanges="true" StoryTitle="$ID/" AppliedNamedGrid="n"> <Properties> <Label> <KeyValuePair Key="innerText2" Value="dbkey3322"/> </Label> </Properties> <StoryPreference OpticalMarginAlignment="false" OpticalMarginSize="12" FrameType="TextFrameType" StoryOrientation="Horizontal" StoryDirection="LeftToRightDirection"/> <InCopyExportOption IncludeGraphicProxies="true" IncludeAllResources="false"/> <ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle="ParagraphStyle/$ID/NormalParagraphStyle"> <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]"> <Content>ziemlich sinnfreier Text</Content> </CharacterStyleRange> </ParagraphStyleRange> </Story> </idPkg:Story> so far so good ... now i package them with "package -c HelloWorld Hello.idml" and load this document in InDesign ... at following i do some copy & paste actions and export the result to IDML and get this story ... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <idPkg:Story xmlns:idPkg="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/idml/1.0/packaging" DOMVersion="6.0"> <Story Self="u186" AppliedTOCStyle="n" TrackChanges="false" StoryTitle="$ID/" AppliedNamedGrid="n"> <StoryPreference OpticalMarginAlignment="false" OpticalMarginSize="12" FrameType="TextFrameType" StoryOrientation="Horizontal" StoryDirection="LeftToRightDirection"/> <InCopyExportOption IncludeGraphicProxies="true" IncludeAllResources="false"/> <XMLElement Self="di3i8" MarkupTag="XMLTag/Root" XMLContent="u186"> <ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle="ParagraphStyle/$ID/NormalParagraphStyle"> <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]"> <Content>ziemlich sinnfreier Text</Content> </CharacterStyleRange> </ParagraphStyleRange> </XMLElement> </Story> </idPkg:Story> what the hell ... and find 2 differences TrackChanges="false" <--- in the original this was true and the label has lost. <Properties> <Label> <KeyValuePair Key="innerText2" Value="dbkey3322"/> </Label> </Properties> so i think InDesign CS 4 have a bug in the copy and paste facility; only the content will be copied but all additional infos are lo

Hi Bjoern,
I'm not sure that InDesign ever really copies a story, just the text in the story. Since the label and the track changes setting were associated with the story itself (and not with the text in the story), they didn't survive the transfer from one story to another.
It may depend on how you copy/paste--I'd expect the above to be true if you copy/paste with the Type tool, but I'm not sure what happens if you copy/paste all of the text frames in a story using the Selection tool. It may be that the label is maintained in that case.
Thanks,
Ole

Appearance - Copy, paste, drag to other objects and enhance

Palette appearance in Ai CS4 is a step in the right direction.
There is missing me:
1. The ability drag&drop individual feature from palete Appearance to add this feature to
other objects in artboard. Or select features in palete appearance and copy and paste in to appearance other objects!
2. In the appearance pallet in the selected object name is missing me another popup palette graphic styles for add style. Could also add a function redefinuj style changed according to values, as well as style in the texts Innd.
3 Stroke Wieight view instead of a variety as in the Control bar + art brush selection
Palette as a popup could also appear when I click add in the stroke palette appearance.
4. In palete appearance shows Opacity word why why can not quickly adjust this feature for example, by the roll or write the number? You have to click and invoke popup palette. ;(
It would be at the end of an easy way to copy the effects and etc.. between objects.
And finally the possibility of departure of thousands of popup pallets to display as an extension of the necessary extensions to existing tools.
In addition to the properties of cool interactive Internet also can be added and monitored as the feature of that object
In fact, you do not have to be to build a Control Panel or Control Panel is used to extend the use of tools such as distribute;)
What do you think?
Can someone also so mean?
P.S.
In the Stroke palette is still too much space to place the stroke, as well as attributes such as:
- Stroke overprint
- path directions
- add arrowhaed

I started having this problem as well within the past few days. It seems that this is startingto become a bigger issue since the release of 10.5.4 and the MobileMe service. Most of the posts I've found in the past few days have been either in late 2002/early 2003 with Jaguar and within the past 10 days or so. That being said I am having the same issue. This is what I've found thus far.
- Can't copy/paste, doesn't work with key combos or menus
- Can't Drag/drop, completely unable to move files or folders around
- iDisk disappeared
- Can't sync to MobileMe
- Spotlight.app had wrong permissions, d--------
Deleted all recommended files and still no luck. I would love to backup and reinstall but again, can't copy files. So there is a bit of an issue here. Any help would be great!

Copy/Paste Issues

I'm working on a simple order form. I scanned in the pdf and then manually placed the form fields. Because a lot of the fields are the same size, I used copy/paste to speed up the process. Now when I go to enter text in one field, it enters the identcal text in all the pasted fields. Is there a way to seperate each field?
Also, how do I make the text auto shrink to stay within the form size?
Thanks for your input. I'm new at this. Below is the link to the file.

Copy/paste errors after updating Acrobat Professional to 8.1.3

Hi,
I as well as my colleague has recently experienced problems with copying/pasting comments in and between pdf-documents. It seems to me that the problems appeared after updating to 8.1.3. Very frustrating because we are using Acrobat intensively in our roof reading process.
I found one other thread mentioning this but there is no solution.
Lars Lindbjerg

Sorry to hear about the trouble. We've heard some reports of similar issues with files not opening after the 11.0.01/10.1.5/9.5.3 updates were installed. I would suggest uninstalling Acrobat, the reinstalling and patching up to 10.1.4 again as an immediate solution.
To help us figure out what may be going with your particular files, could you open one in Acrobat and choose File > Properties. I'd like to know what it says next to the PDFProducer and Application lines.

Copy/paste testframe from a master page ?

Hi,
A layout has been made by a designer. He uses a lot of properties (rotation, odd corner, gradient ...) for each of his elements (textFrame).
From this layout, I have to create an automatic layout from his work (I'm using InDesign CS5). That mean I should recreate the properties in Javascript for several elements.
I was wondering if it would be better to use a Master page with all of those elements in it and then using of the "copy/paste" to call my elements.
According to you, is it a good way to proceed ?
By the way, I have some problems to select a textframe in my master page...
Here is what I use to access to my textFrame element :
myDocument.masterSpreads.item("A-MyName").pages.item(0).textFrames.item("MyBlocName")
What's wrong ?
Thank you very much.

I use the script label to name my textframes.
I define the names myself in a MasterPage especially reserved to contain those textFrames ready to be copied and pasted, so I suppose there won't be two identical names !
There's no other way to proceed than with an instruction FOR ?
Something direct like : myMasterPage.item("MyBlocName").copy() ?
(I don't really know how copy/paste function works in Indesign Javascript Scripting...)
By the way, I tried to use the exemple like this (to see if it works) :
myMasterPage = myDocument.masterSpreads.item("C-test"); //My Master is called "test" and its letter is "C".
for(var n=0;n<myMasterPage.allPageItems.length;n++){
if(myMasterPage.allPageItems[n].constructor.name == "TextFrame" && myMasterPage.allPageItems[n].label == "MyBlocName"){
myMasterPage.allPageItems[n].contents = "TEST";
But nothing happen... (no error).
A problem with myMesterPage ?
Thank you very much for your help !
