Copying frame content set to existing symbols set

Ask the community

Hi Figma friends,
Is there an automated process or plugin that can move or copy the contents of multiple frames (each with a single layer of merged vectors) to a group of empty existing symbols?

Both the label/name of the frame matches the label/name of the symbols. And I’m trying to move the content of each individual frame to an individual symbol.

I also have to use the existing symbol as it’s a published symbol used in a library with overrides.

Hey Paul, thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately, this is not supported in Figma at this time. However, I reached out to the team internally and they suggested the following workaround:
-select all of the icon components
-copy+paste / duplicate to create a set of instances
-select both components and instances

  • copy+paste to a new file.

This will create a new set of components and you can then delete all the instances.

Hope this helps!
