Affinity Designer: 'Paste in Place' feature request

[mayahan]

Hi, I'm a web designer and am seriously considering using Affinity Designer at work. 

However, one thing that I found quite annoying using AD is that the lack of 'Paste in Place' feature between artboards.

I use Sketch and Illustrator at work and both programs let you paste objects to another artboard preserving object coordinates.

You'll be surprised how often 'paste in place' is used while designing. 

 

Please add that feature to the next version of AD. 

Thanks!

mayahan,

 

Affinity Designer currently pastes things in place without the need for a separate command (as long as you are near same area you copied it from). If you have an object on one layer and you copy it (or cut it) and then move to another layer and paste, it will be in the exact same place as it was when you copied it or cut it. If you have documents of the same size, this also works between documents too. It even worked for me when I used documents that were different sizes too. Isn't this the same as "paste into place" that is found in Sketch or Illustrator?

There may still be problems using Paste in Place between Artboards

After reading your comment I realized that what I meant to say is that 'paste into place between artboards'. Thanks.

mayahan,

 

I see, that makes sense. That would be a good feature to add. I don't normally use artboards much so I never worried about it but I can see how it would be useful.

At work, I use Sketch for web design and Illustrator for everything else (multiple page document design, such as, style guide, brandbook, etc.). But Illustrator has been really clunkly, takes too long to open and save, and sometimes the program just won't open at all. I'm getting really fed up with it and thinking of switching to Affinity Designer.
