Copy and Paste for some circumstance

[Il-Cartoonatico]

Hi there! Please, could you integrate a copy-paste function on position and size values? This one would be appreciated and more it can shorten our working time.

when you copy and paste in animate now, that option exists.  right click over the object, click copy, right click, click paste.

Yeah, I know that one, but when I copy and paste the shadow drawn (for example) in a new frame I'm forced to center manually the shadow part with previou frame. Instead if we had a copy-paste button for those values (I marked in a red square) it'd be really convenient and can really save a bit of our time, because the copied part will be centred correctly with a single click.

why can't you copy > paste in center?

I'm sorry but English isn't my native language as can be imagined and I probably continue to explain myself badly. I'm refering to overlap to the millimetre (with precision) the same drawn part in a new keyframe. Currently, if I copy and paste the drawn part in a new keyframe either I have to move the mouse to center the copy correctly or edit X and Y values that is even better and significantly more precise solution.

Please, if you can, record a video what you are currently doing and showing what is the difficulty that you are facing.

At first I thought that you are not aware of the Paste in Place option, but now I am not too sure.

A screen recording will help everyone understand better what you are trying to achieve.

Here it is:

As you can see I have to note down X and Y values and rewrite both to perfectly center the drawing - I use ctl+c/v for copy and paste - If the copied design retained its position after being pasted that would be great, or in which case a quick copy-paste button for repositioning.

what are you doing?

right click over what you want to copy > click copy > change frames > right click over the stage > click paste in place or paste in center

Omw... I had never seen it! xD

It has a slightly different name in my language, but you were helpful. Thank you so much guys for your support.

my steps are quicker, but you're welcome.
