Copying, Pasting, and Cutting Point Positions

You can copy point position values in a stroke/shape you have selected. This enables you to use the same values for another point in a stroke/shape. Unlike cutting point values, described below, copying position values does not delete any keys set.

NOTE:  When copying, cutting, or pasting from the right-click menu, numbers are displayed next to the curve, spline, or point. These numbers represent how many of each you have selected and thus, how many are copied or pasted. For example, 2 point (values) denotes that 2 points are selected. Pasting two points into a shape with many more points replaces the lowest two points in the shape, or the highest two splines in the stroke/shape list.

To Copy Point Values

1.   In the Viewer, scrub to the frame that contains the stroke/shape whose point position you want to copy.
2.   Activate the Select Points tool .
3.   Make sure hide points is disabled in the tool settings.
4.   Right-click on the point a stroke/shape and select copy > point (values).

Nuke copies the positions of the selected point to the clipboard. Any keys set to animate these positions are not affected.
