Hey Figma Community! 👋
I'm excited to share CopyKit Beta 3.0, a plugin that solves one of the biggest pain points when working with Design Systems: replicating complex nested structures.
🚀 What's New in Beta 3.0:
Recursive Hierarchical Cloning
- Respects infinite nesting levels (AutoLayout → AutoLayout → Elements)
- Anti-loop system prevents duplication bugs
- Real text captured (.characters, not layer names)
- Original fonts loaded automatically with smart fallback to Inter
- Clean fills: automatically removes default white backgrounds from new Frames
Redesigned Interface
- Material Symbols (Google) icon library
- Orientation toggle: compact horizontal or vertical panel
- Contextual notifications: know exactly what mode you're using
- Full persistence: remembers your language, theme, and orientation preferences
Smart Default Mode
- Quick visual styles without structure
- Activate cloning when you need the full hierarchy
💡 Perfect For:
- Cloning Material 3 buttons with container → state-layer → icon + label structure
- Replicating complex cards while maintaining internal architecture
- Copying external Design System components with deep nesting
- Applying styles while preserving layer hierarchy
⚠️ Known Limitation:
Complete structure cloning of external library components requires Figma Professional (API restriction). Visual styles work on all plans.
450+ designers are already using CopyKit. Your feedback helps make it better!
Try it and let me know: Does hierarchical cloning change your workflow?
