Copying custom html components

narrowed down my issues with no html components disappearing

if I copy a html component straight from one project page to another, it works until I close all down and then reopen the new file in a different directory
how to you copy the html custom component from one project to another but not page to page but in the components section on the left

try again then I give up different project

think that now works, not finished yet
As I wrote most of these for practice rather than thinking ahead, I learnt quite a lot now

I tried putting my 3d spinning cube in the animation border component, one is percent the other pixels, need to change them both

First time I have tried grids so not finished that part

So put sinning cube with Elements logo inside at bottom

there are box circle triangle and multi clip path components as well

This is a known issue, copying Custom Components/Globals will not work between projects ā€” theyā€™ll break when you re-open the project, as itā€™s still referencing the other project.

This will be fixed in an upcoming beta. Stay tuned!

Good to know thought it was me

@dan I know you guys have a lot going on, but it has been almost 2 months on this issue and I really have a lot of components/ideas started and need to move components to separate projects, so I can have a clean ā€˜playgroundā€™ for each idea. Pretty please. :pray:

Thanks for bumping this up the list, weā€™ll see what we can do :wink:

@Bill weā€™ve implemented this and itā€™ll be in Beta 13 :tada:

I gave a quick demo today, towards the end of the Dev Diary Ep39!

@Bill Beta 14 adds support for copy and pasting between documents. Enjoy!

MISSING ELEMENT 3750AFA6-5AE4-474E-ACC4-3754D1DCD2F0

Dan I copied and got this message

me too


ok in edit mode gone in preview,was ok after beta 13 then beta 14 screws it upā€¦im not copying tho just editing the site ive been buildingā€¦if I create new page with a new html same thing

Sorry, this bug has slipped into the build because of the work we were doing under the hood. The workaround for now is to launch Elements first, then load the document (i.e donā€™t double click the project from the Finder to launch Elements).

Weā€™ll get this fixed up for the next beta!

maybe im doing something wrong but that still doesnā€™t seem to work but as long as I dont have to re enter all the data ive put in I will wait till its fixed

Okay, another day, another betaā€¦

Beta 15 should fix your preview issue :sweat_smile:
