Patrick Thompson Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 When I assign some Effects (FX) to a layer, I often want to copy and paste those same effects onto another layer. I would expect there to be a 'Copy FX' option on the right-click menu for a layer but I'm not seeing anything related to that. Is there any easy way to copy and paste Layer Effects?

Gear maker Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Patrick, the only way to copy the fx is to do a copy and paste inside (cmd c on the original and cmd shift v for the paste inside). This will also copy any attributes from the original, color, stroke, gradient, etc. Quote iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) with macOS Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Thompson Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Ah, I see now in the Edit menu there is a Paste FX. Exactly what I want. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoBu Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Something is wrong in the AP edit menu. Why is an effect inserted with "Paste Style" and not with "Paste FX"? That I don't understand. I think these commands are reversed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 13, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks for the heads up LoBu. You're right, something looks wrong here. Issue logged to be looked at. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
