### How to Copy & Paste Objects

You can copy and paste any object in your space.

**To copy an object**: select an object, and click on the "Copy" button in the action bar to duplicate the object to the clipboard. 

**To paste this object**: choose the Select tool using the [Toolbar](/objects-creation/tools-and-toolbar.md), and in the opened menu, click on the "Paste" button - the object will appear in the current frame at the same coordinates as the original one. 

{% hint style="info" %}
If you paste the object into the same frame where you copied it, it will be pasted as a new object. 

If you paste the object into another frame, it will be pasted as a snapshot of the original object (it will be animated). 
{% endhint %}

### How to Copy & Paste Object Properties

You can copy and paste all object properties, transform (all properties that are contained in the Transform section of the Object Inspector), and material properties separately.&#x20;

**To copy object properties**: select an object, and click on the **Copy** button.&#x20;

**To paste all properties:** select an object, click on the Paste button in the action bar, and choose **Paste all properties** to apply all properties from the copied object to the selected object.&#x20;

**To paste all properties:** if the original object has interactions connected to it, you can paste only those interactions. Select an object, click on the Paste button in the action bar, and choose **Paste interactions** to create the same interactions for the selected object.&#x20;

**To paste transform:** select an object, click on the Paste button in the action bar, and choose **Paste transform** to apply transform properties from the copied object to the selected object.&#x20;

**To paste material:** select an object, click on the Paste button in the action bar, and choose **Paste material** to apply material properties from the copied object to the selected object.

**To paste shape parameters:** select an object, click on the Paste button in the action bar, and choose **Paste shape params** to apply shape properties from the copied object to the selected object (only works for objects created with the [Shape tool](/objects-creation/shape-tool.md)).

**To paste as a new object:** select an object, click on the Paste button in the action bar, and choose **Paste new Object** to create a new object with the same properties as the copied object has in the current frame.
