Affinity-Inspiration Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 Iv just discovered that if I apply an effect directly to an object, then copy the object, I can then paste the effect to a new object. However. If I save the object and come back to it it no longer allows me to copy and paste the fx. It only works if the object is 'live' And then it pasted the full style. Colours etc, not just the effects. Even saving it as a style saves the colour. And you can't then apply the new style to a different coloured object. it appears to work as it should on the Mac, but not my iPad. Quote iPad Mini 6. 256GB. My GoTo design platform.

Staff Callum Posted July 26, 2023 Staff Share Posted July 26, 2023 I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by it only works if the object is live I'm afraid. Please could you provide a screen recording or steps that I can follow to easily replicate this as it seems to be working as expected here.

Create an object, and apply FX to it. While still with the fx tool studio selected, copy the object. Create or select new object, Paste fx works. But once you move away from the object fx studio, Paste fx no longer works. RPReplay_Final1690370630.mp4 Quote iPad Mini 6. 256GB. My GoTo design platform. M2 Mac Mini. 24GB.
