Is it possible to copy groups/paths from one layer and paste to other multiple layers?

Note Layer > Duplicate will not work in this regard, because I want to copy one group of paths/elements from one layer to other existing layers, not to a new layer.
I have not found a command for this, nor have I found any scripts. Note I'm using CS3 but have been thinking about an upgrade.
Thanks in advance.

I actually use the Release to Layer (Sequence) function frequently to build my animated steps, for example when animating some text in a way that Premiere won't handle. This releases all the intermediary objects in a transition to new layers, but the background image still needs to be manually pasted into each newly created layer.
I have read about "Paste to all Artboards," but that feature was not included in CS3. I believe it was released in CS5. Perhaps I need to get an upgrade. Thank you for your kind replies.
I am a Mac-based CAD user going back to the mid-1990s, and it's interesting how many of the helpful, time-saving features we took for granted in those drawing programs are either not included in Illustrator products or are just being added in recent releases. I would still be using programs such as PowerDraw/PowerCADD if they hadn't gone out of business. Even with some of the expansion packs I've used, Illustrator doesn't hold a candle to PowerCADD.

  • Is it possible to copy all comments from one pdf and paste to another?

    Hi Adobe Community
    I have a pdf file that has 100+ pages with square markups and arrows. The pdf that was marked up is from last year, but this year the format is the same, but the numbers have changed. Rather than going through every single page and commented as I did last year, is it possible to copy all comments from last years pdf and paste them into this years pdf, in the same place?
    Thanks

    You can export comments to an FDF file and import the FDF into another PDF. In Acrobat 11, you'd select: Comment > Comment List > [click the little icon in right of panel toolbar] > Export All to Data File

  • Is it possible to clone an object from one image and paste it on another image?

    Is it possible to clone an object from one image and paste it on another image in Aperture?

    As Frank said,
    but Aperture has a nice clone tool - the drawback is, that it only works within one image.
    What I sometimes do - as a workaroud, when I want to use the clone brush, is to combine the image I want to clone from and the image I want to clone into, into one single image by printing them together to pdf as jpeg. Then I can clone from the second to the first, for example, to be able to add an fairy to a flower: Picking up the head of the fairy in the right image and brushing it into the left one. Occasionally I prefer the Aperture brush to the Photoshop lasso.

  • How can I copy a row from one sheet and paste it in a column in another sheet?

    I would like to copy a row of numbers from one sheet and paste it into a column in another sheet.  Is it possible to do this with numbers?

    Hi Dennis,
    Numbers doesn't have a built-in Paste Special > Transpose the way you have in Excel.  However, there are ways to do this in Numbers that are not difficult. 
    Here are two ways:
    Approach 1:
    Select the row of numbers, and command-c to copy to the system clipboard.
    Click on the canvas and command-v to paste, automatically creating a new table.
    With that new table still selected, in your menu choose Table > Transpose Rows and Columns.
    Select the cells in the transposed table, command-c to copy, click once in a cell of the destination column of your target table, and command-v to paste.
    Approach 2: (after a quick installation, very similar to Excel's built-in Paste Special > Transpose)
    Download this Copy Transpose Automator Service, and double-click to install (if necessary choosing Open Anyway in System Preferences > Security and Privacy).
    Thereafter to use just:
    select the row of numbers you want to copy
    with the cells still selected, choose Copy Transpose from the Numbers > Services menu
    click once in the destination column and command-v to paste the transposed values.
    Note that the second approach does not handle cells with formulas, whereas the first approach will.

  • Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac on two ipads and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I am somewhat new to iOS and OS having grown up with DOS and Windows. I am not familiar with IMAP and iCloud and I am not even sure which types of servers my various emails use.
    The problem I would anticipate with iCloud is that (I assume) it would limit my access to data (including mail) on the iCloud to when I happen to be logged onto the internet. I also assume(?) that large files (photos etc.) would require some time to download whenever I wish to access them from whichever device I happen to be using (I hope I am wrong about this).
    I have kept my devices to 500gb - 1TB for OS and 32gb - 128gb for iOS but since I have pretty slow WiFi (shared with DirecTV Whole Home and Netflix streaming) it is my impression that iCloud might be quite limited due to data transfer times.
    Perhaps a factor would be that I have 2 DSL lines and my main DSL line is connected to two wireless routers (to also provide WiFi in a metal building that blocks WiFi and Cellular signals)
    I may be totally wrong in my assumptions regarding iCloud. My mail is not so urgent that I need access to it instantly and I could wait until I had internet access or I can get it on my iPhone. My main concern with iCloud would be my data files (Word, Pages, Excel, Numbers etc.).
    On the other hand, if I wanted to keep my 10,000 emails that would take up a lot of iCloud memory and I don't know how to measure how much storage it would take or how to move Hotmail or even iCloud mail to iCloud.
    It may take me some time to figure this out.

  • Copying position value from one layer to another

    Hy!
    This is Pierluig, from Italy.
    I'm a noob in after effect scripting language, but not so new to programming
    Anyway, this is the question:
    I have a composition with one layer on it. let's say firstlayer.
    The layer has two effects on it: topeffect and bottomeffect.
    Bottomeffect is an effect called (Transform).
    In my script, I want another layer (let's say secondlayer) to set his position from the position of the bottomeffects of the firstlayer.
    Problem is, the property "Position" of the secondeffect of the toplayer is calculated trough an expression.
    This expressions use a function, and this function is not recognized by the script language
    I've tried something like:
      var myArr = ["0","0"];
      myArr = firstlayer.property("Effects").property("(Transform)").property("Position");
      secondo.Position.setValue(time,myArr);
    And I got the error: Undefined, is not an object.
    I've tried lots, tons of variation, and i've got lots, tons of variation in the error message , but always an error.
    So the question is: how can i get my goal?
    And my goal is to say, trough a script, after effect to set a property to a layer copying that property from another layer, assuming the layer from wich i copy the property get the property values trough an expression.
    Hope I've been clear
    Any help will be reallyappreciated, and I'll remember the helpers in my pray
    Pierlu

    Hi Pierlu,
    You can use the valueAtTime() method to retrieve a value pre- or post-expression. Here's some sample code:
    var firstLayer = comp.layer("firstlayer");
    var secondLayer = comp.layer("secondlayer");
    var firstLayerPosition = firstLayer.property("Effects").property("Transform").property("Position").valueAtTime(0, false);
    secondLayer.position.setValue(firstLayerPosition);
    Hope this helps.

  • Copying from one arrangement and pasting into another arrangement

    Hi, I'm using Logic Express 8.
    I'm wondering if there is a way to copy several tracks from one arrangement window into another. I've tried to do this simply by copying and pasting, but when I paste into the new arrangement window I get error messages and the tracks pasted into the new window have a speaker icon with an "X" through it - and obviously no sound.
    Am I missing something, or perhaps this is simply a limitation that exists with using express instead of pro?
    Thanks a lot.

    You can do this by simply importing the data from one project to your new one. Check it out here.

  • Possible to copy automation data from one project to another?

    Hi
    I have done some automation editing to a region in a project, and I would like to copy it to an identical region in another project. Is this possible?

    I have not tried this method I'm now going to describe, but 'logic' dictates it should work:
    1. In your donor project, open the *Automation Event List* , ctrl-⌘-E, then open a new Arrange window, ⌘-1. The new arrange window will now contain regions that only hold automation.
    2. Go to *Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Devices>Coreaudio* tab and UNtick the Enabled box. (If you don't, each audio file and instrument will have to be reloaded each time you switch from one to the other project. That would drive anyone absolutely nuts.)
    3. Now open the other project, get an Automation arrange window there, like in 1.
    Now you should be able to copy/paste automation regions between the two projects.
    Hope this works... I think that you need to set the playhead at the right position before pasting, but you'll have to figure that out yourself...
    regards, Erik.

  • I had to create a new Apple ID. Is it possible to copy all Calendars from one Apple ID to the new one?

    I had to create a new apple id.  I do not see a way to change my iCloud to the new apple id.  I figured out how to copy my contacts to the new iCloud account.  Is there a way to copy all my Calendars over to the new iCloud account?  I was able to "share" the calendar's.  but I want the Calendars saved under the new iCloud account.

    To migrate your iCloud data from one account to another (including calendars), sign into the old account (unless you already are), then save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign into the new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
    If you only want to migrate your calendars, sign into the old account, then to go Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars Off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (to delete the other iCloud data from the phone).  Then sign into the new account and choose Merge to upload your calendars to the new account.

    I don't think you can copy layers – at least not in the
    way you are thinking.
    But you can select frames or a range of frames and then
    copy/cut frames.
    In the new document you can then paste frames. It has a lot
    of variations depending upon how you many you copy, if there are
    multiple layers, what area you select before pasting and so on. It
    would take a lot to describe and I'm not sure I would describe it
    properly.
    Generally just give it a try and get an intuitive feel for
    it. The choices are available from the Edit menu but also from a
    right click.
    It is also possible to slect and edit multiple frames so if
    you do need to move a bunch of things on different key frames that
    is also possible.
