  • Copy and paste coordinates????

    Posted by Jason Coursey on May 16, 2008 at 3:47 am

    Hi, Cow.

    Is there a way to copy one objects coordinates (all of them – position, scale, rotation) and paste it into another without copying and pasting each and every parameter???

    I cannot find it for the life of me.

    Thanks,

    Jason

    No way to copy/paste that I know of, but the Functions>Transfer tool does exactly what you want. 😉

    Functions Transfer is the easiest but just for completeness…. Paste Identical ‘Suppose there are two cylinders in the scene. You select one of the cylinders, select its Radius and Height parameters in the Attribute manager and choose Copy to copy the two values. If you then select the other cylinder and choose Paste Identical, the two values will be pasted to the same parameters — Height and Radius — regardless of which parameters are currently selected. This is in contrast to the Paste command, which pastes to the selected parameters.’

    Which allows you to select any or all parameters common to objects and paste them all at once to others.

    I’ll be damned! Never knew about that “paste identical” command!
