kbaqel Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 How can I paste one object into multiple objects? When I select all the objects, it only pastes inside the top one, and if I group them, it just pastes over the entire group instead of inside each object individually? If I have a thousand objects, how can I paste one object into all of them at once without having to paste it into each one individually?

R C-R Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I don't think you can do this in AD, but if you have Affinity Publisher you could probably use master pages to simplify this. BTW, why do you need to paste the same object into more than one other object?

thomaso Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Unfortunately you didn't tell us about the object types and the desired use or appearance. If the object is a raster image, you can apply it as a "Bitmap Fill" to any object and create that as a Style. This can be applied to a range of selected objects with 1 click... style bitmap fill.m4v Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 See this thread: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/152501-extended-functionality-for-paste-inside/ In that thread I say that “The pasted object would have to be centred within each selected layer for it to be of any use.” but what’s been mentioned in this thread brings up another good possibility for usage so I’d be happy to be able to have both ways as options.

GarryP Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 40 minutes ago, kbaqel said: Shapes and curves into another shapes or curves You can achieve your first example by Merging the ellipses and then cropping the star with the resultant Curves layer, but you would no longer be able to edit the ellipses as ellipses as they would now be (still editable) curves in a Curves layer. Your second example can be achieved (up-to-a-point) by splitting the text into two and using a Contrast Negate Blend Mode on the ‘blobs’, but the colours aren’t quite right. Further experimentation might yield better results. See attached image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Create the ellipses and the star. Then select all of the ellipses together and use menu “Layer → Geometry → Merge Curves”. Then, in the Layers Panel, drag the star layer onto the name of the Curves layer which was created by merging the ellipses. kbaqel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbaqel Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 Thanks, that serves me well. I read your post on the extended funcionality and I absolutely agree. Hope this will be an option soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
