Copy/paste Inkscape <-> Designer


Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm trying to use Inkscape to fill some features not present actually in Affinity Designer, but I cannot copy or paste between the two. Inkscape displays a message 'Nothing on the clipboard' when pasting from affinity designer. From Inkscape to affinity designer nothing happens.

I can use a SVG export-import but copy-paste is way faster.

Any of you are you using this workflow? is it possible?

Thanks!

Copying in Inkscape and pasting in Designer works for me. What OS are you on, and what are you trying to copy/paste?

For Designer to Inkscape, try enabling this Preference:

... macOS

It seems that Inkscape clipboard on Mac doesn't works with other apps, only itself, which kind of diminishes the usefulness of it.
