Swap instances using Cmd+C/Cmd+V

[Vassilis_Yannoussis]

I don’t like to detach components so swapping instances is something I do all day every day.

However, when swapping instances, the swapped instance is always the default instance of the master, which means I often have to re-apply overrides manually. This is a huge source of repeat manual work.

My suggestion would be to be able to swap instances as you would do copy-paste.

Hey @Vassilis_Yannoussis, thanks for the feedback!

This is already on our radar for improvement. I’ve merged your topic with an existing similar one. Feel free to add your feedback for the team and vote here:

Swap nested instance via copy (Cmd+C/Cmd+V) or paste-to-replace

[image] This occurs when I have an instance in my clipboard and I attempt to paste-to-replace an instance inside another instance. It’d be great to be able to use the paste-to-replace keyboard shortcut to swap instances, rather than going through the hassle of selecting the nested instance and swapping it for another through the properties panel.
