About this plugin

This is a simple little plugin that allows you to select a source instance and apply it to a destination instance (in the same way the swap instance panel works) but also optionally preserving some of the of the overrides.


This is a game changer when working with slots to allow you to insert a configured instance into an existing slot without having to manually reconfigure it.


How to use it.

  1. Select an instance or a component layer.
  2. Press the middle + button to "copy" the layer
  3. Select where you would like to "paste" the instance
  4. Press the right replace button


Settings

  • Persistent? Keeps the panel open after pasting
  • Create? If the source layer is not a component, the plugin will create a component of it when pasting
  • Deep Copy? This will attempt to copy any overrides on the source instance
