Hi there,

 

Welcome to the Adobe XD Community!

Hope you are safe at home.

 

We are sorry to hear you are unable to copy and paste elements in Adobe XD. We would like to know a few more details like-

  • Are you trying to copy the images from one XD file into another?
  • Are you using keyboard shortcut like ( CTRL+ C ) to copy and (CTRL + V) to paste or the menu option?
  • Is it happening with a specific file or all the files?
  • Is it possible for you to share your workflow with the help of video for better understanding?

 

We will try our best to help.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi there,

 

Sorry for the trouble. Could you please update XD to 38.1 version and see if that helps? If it doesn't, please let us know if the keyboard shortcut is working. Is it happening with every file or with a specific file?

 

I will try my best to escalate it to the team for further investigation.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Thanks for sharing the information. Is it possible for you to share the XD file with me over a private message so that I can investigate it at my end? If yes, please upload the file to a shared location such as Creative Cloud or Dropbox and share the URL with me over a PM.

 

Note: Please add the URL of this post over a PM for reference.

 

Thanks,

updated. it still happens.

also with larger files i occasionally get this bug:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/unable-to-enter-text-in-adobe-xd-bug/m-p/10909422

which i don't care about becuase it's fine after i exit and reopen. Just thought i'd let you know.

Not being able to copy and paste is a major issue though.

I'm experiencing the same problem just now. CMD+C amd CMD+V doesn't do anything. I can see the menu items light up as I'm using the keyboard shortcuts. Nothing gets copied or pasted, even when using the menu items instead. Holding OPTION + drag works, but it's not the workflow I'm looking for in this particular project I'm working on.

Im unable to copy and paste from Illustrator - all programs are up to date. 
Being unable to perform such an action is a massive flaw and incredibly infuriating - this must be a known issue?
