Hi, I just created a menu in a web page in gwd and I realised that the type of project does not have pages in it. I'd like to be able to cut my menu group with all of the buttons and fly out menus inside and then paste it into a new project.

Flash used to have this as import from external library.

Can this be done?

Hi, jamesstewartmiller
Currently, GWD does not support copy/cut/paste cross multiple documents and also it's impossible to convert an html project to an html project with pages .  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Also, to add to what Jason mentioned, we do have this (copy/paste across documents) filed as a feature request and is something we're working on this year.

thx

HI Jaz / GWD team

Have you have had much luck in sorting this copy and paste to other documents?
Be good too know.

thanks

Hello, it's mid-November now, how is that working to make it possible to copy-paste layers(with animations, of course!) between different files / projects ?

I've worked on 3 different banners, now the client wanted them merged. No way to do it without this feature!

Your Google Web Designer build should now be updated to our newest version with copy and paste feature, along with many other new features.  

Thanks,
San

Copy & paste is supported:
Open 2 files, select layers in one doc and copy (Cmd-C) then view your other doc and paste (Cmd-V).
You should see those layers added to your doc.

Hope that helps,
