I downloaded some wireframing projects from Figma resources. I’m trying to simply move some existing elements from those resources into my existing projects and I’m unable to do so. I was only able to do so by exporting as SVG, then importing them into my project, but all interactivity and object-capabilities were lost, they sort of just became images.
I need some wireframing frames etc., to expand my project with those graphical elements.
I must be missing something. I tried drag-drop, that didn’t work, copy/paste didn’t work.
What’s the trick? It’s surely not this hard to move items between projects.
Right now, it’s blocking my progress fully. Any guidance would be appreciated, I was unable to find notes about how to do this rudimentary task.
Copy and paste between files appears to have issues. Before this week things worked as expected, but this week copy and past of simple components is very slow (sometimes taking 20+ minutes). Often Figma just stays on ‘Pasting…’ and never completes the action.
Just came in to say as of October 2022 one can still not copy and paste images between files. I’m particularly referring to copying and pasting between different profiles. So I guess it’s been a year and a half since we were able to do this? My guess is this is a security feature. However it’s challenging if you’re trying to save a file from work to your personal profile, like if you want to save for your portfolio, but still work on it. The only work around I can see is to export each image, and manually paste back in.
