Hello, guys. I have asked question about path before and got helped by this site so I came here with new problem that I faced.

so I got successed to making new paths by js code and found several paths on Paths tab.

and my goal is copy the path and paste it on new document but I couldn't find relative reference on site so I wonder if anyone got the Idea with this problem?

thank you.

Can you provide a file and the resulting file/s you want to create?

So basically, I cut those boxes by script with path and selected them, make a new document and then put those path infos with cut images to new document while putting those images vertically.
