Copying from Illustrator to XD does not work

[steve456]

Hey all,

For some reason when I attempt to copy a simple piece of vector art from Illustrator to XD, it doesn't work. What's weird is that I've been working within the same file for a week and have been copying and pasting vector art all week. Any advice? Here's what I'm running on:

Windows 10

Intel i7 7700K

16 gigs DDR4

GTX 1080

Both Illustrator and XD are up to date, I have already restarted the programs and PC, anitvirus is disabled. I can copy and past text from browsers (as a test) to XD...

Super weird problem..

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanks for using Adobe XD and sharing this feedback here. Could you please try to open a new document in Adobe XD and check if you are able to paste elements from Adobe Illustrator to Adobe XD? I would also like to know the exact version that you are using for Adobe XD.

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

Is this for a specific part of artwork? If so, you can try exporting it to SVG (instead of copying it).

Are you on Windows RS5? I hear that a bug is breaking SVG import on this Windows build.

Thanks,

I got the same problem but this only happens on and off. I tried to restart the app and it still doesn't work. I'm using a Mac here.

Facing the same issue ON and OFF....
Also all XD files get crashed at times while pasting even in a new file OR XD get hanged.
