In the old Sketch it was great that you could copy and paste objects from one artboard into another artboard without thinking - it would always place it in the same co-ordinates.
With frames it does the same thing - if you are copying and pasting into identical frames it’s fine as long as you click into the target frame - but - if you have nested frames, you can sometimes get unpredictable results and in some cases it appears out in left field outside of the frames. My only fix is to make sure you pick your target carefully and click into the right frame and layer to paste into.
It would be nice if there was a command to just ‘paste into position’ relative to the base parent frame.. so it takes the original position from the source parent frame and pastes into the target parent frame - even if the source object was in a nested frame within a frame - so you don’t have to think about it.
Hey @bman, I’ve taken the liberty to move your post to a new topic on the Suggest an idea category, since it looks like a better fit here. Hope you don’t mind!
