Jenny Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hi, I was happy to accidentally discover the "paste into" option when right-clicking on a picture frame. Since this is something I use quite regularly I was trying to create a shortcut for it. However it seems that because the "paste into" option isn't available in the menu under "Edit" I am not able to create a shortcut?!? Therefore I would appreciate it if it could be added there. Thanks. Mr. Doodlezz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seneca Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 3 hours ago, Jenny said: I am not able to create a shortcut?!? I'm afraid this command is only for pasting things from the clipboard. For example create a picture frame and an ordinary oval. Cut the oval or copy it and select the picture frame and right-mouse click on it. You will be able to see that Paste Into is available. You could copy a picture from somewhere else and then paste it into the picture frame this way but remember that doing this will embed the picture into the project you work on. This may or may not be what you want. Interestingly, the Edit menu doesn't have that command at all. You may want to report it to the developers as a bug or omission.

iaing Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) It's tucked in Layer>Insertion>Inside - I hunted for it for the same reason (it's also the button in the screenshot, top-right of your screen) And because it's Insert, not paste, it does work with placing files, not just pasting - try drawing a vector shape, then do Layer>Insertion>Inside, then place an image and click to place it inside your vector shape.

Jenny Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 I have used the "paste into" feature a lot. After just upgrading to the latest version 1.7.0.305 that seems to be gone. When I right-click the picture frame I have the option to "paste" and a greyed-out "paste content". How to I paste a new photo into a frame now? I can't figure it out ...

I get the opposite "paste" is greyed-out and "paste content" is active and works How are you getting the image onto the clipboard?

carl123 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Well, I can copy some images from websites and "paste content" them in a frame but it may depend on the image format etc Can you name the website ? If not try copying the barcode to your computer and copy and pasting it from there Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Jenny Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'm not sure why I should change the way I have been doing this for months, it has worked perfectly until this one option was removed - hopefully by accident. Yes, I could save the images to my computer and then place them, but that just takes too long honestly. It used to be a matter of two clicks ...

Because I have made a template with a page full of picture frames with custom settings and fittings. I could just paste a picture into a frame and it would automatically adopt the settings. That was very convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Do you know what the file format is of the barcodes you are copying? png, jpg, something else?

Rondem Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Why isn't it possible to paste into picture frame that is added in master page and used as template. Or why isn't it possible to move the picture inside a frame from the layer panel. I can paste image with right click on frame that is made directly on page but cant do it on a frame from master page.

Hilltop Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Try right-clicking the selected picture frame and select 'Paste as Content'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondem Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Doesn't give me that option for frames made in master pages. It only gives me that option when the frame is made directly on the page.

Hilltop Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 In the first image it shows that you're not working on the master page. That's why the picture frame doesn't have the editable selection handles nor the option to paste as content. You need to double-click on the masterpage icon to be able to select and edit it.

Rondem Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 The thing is i dont want it in master page. I know I can place an image with the place option in the File menu. But it seems impossible to do it with images already placed in on page or pasted images from clipboard.

Rondem Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Thanks for the Edit detached. Have another question. Is there a way to change the orange line in Layer to a dashed line like in the image I'm attaching. With a right click or something. I know it changes if you place an image, but is there a just a click menu. Because when its dashed like this an image can be dragged inside without the Edit detached.

AdrianB Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Why is it necessary to edit the master page picture frame in detached mode for pasting but not placing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_s Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) I figured out a workaround to using a clipboard item and pasting it into a Picture Frame. 1) Copy item 2) Paste on layout. 3) Cut the pasted item. 4) Control click on Mac in the Picture frame to get Paste as Content pop-up. 5) Done.
