Copying, Cutting, and Pasting Stroke Attributes

Copying, cutting, and pasting stroke/shape attributes is achieved in a similar way to affecting position:

To Copy Stroke/Shape Attributes

1.   With the Select All , Select Points , or the Select Feather Points tool active, select the stroke/shape in the Viewer.
2.   Make sure hide points is disabled in the tool settings.
3.   In the Viewer, drag a marquee around the points (or an entire stroke/shape) that you want to copy. If hide transform handles is disabled, a transform box appears.
4.   Right-click inside the transform box and select copy > curve (attribute values).

The attribute values of the stroke/shape, including position and shape, are copied to the clipboard. Values only apply to a specific keyframe.

To Cut Stroke/Shape Attributes

1.   With the Select All , Select Points , or the Select Feather Points tool active, select the stroke/shape in the Viewer.
2.   Make sure hide points is disabled in the tool settings.
3.   In the Viewer, drag a marquee around the points or click on the stroke/shape for the points that you want to cut. If hide transform handles is disabled, a transform box appears.
4.   Right-click inside the transform box and select cut > curve (attribute values).

The attribute values of the stroke/shape, including position and shape, are cut from the Viewer and placed in the clipboard. Values only apply to a specific keyframe. Note, that the shape of the cut stroke/shape does not disappear from the Viewer.

To Paste Stroke/Shape Attributes

1.   With the Select All , Select Points , or the Select Feather Points tool active, select the stroke/shape in the Viewer.
2.   Make sure hide points is disabled in the tool settings.
3.   In the Viewer, drag a marquee around the points or click on the stroke/shape for the points that you want to paste. If hide transform handles is disabled, a transform box appears.
4.   Right-click inside the transform box and select paste > spline (attribute values).

This pastes the copied stroke/shape attribute values that were on the clipboard. If you have copied another type of curve, for example, (values) or (animations), then all options except for that one are disabled.
