How do I copy and paste a peg pivot?

Updated on



Option 1: Use the Layer Properties

  1. In the Node view, locate the peg whose pivot you want to copy and open the Layer Properties by clicking the yellow square on the node.

  1. The Layer Properties window will appear:

  1. While the window is open, locate the peg node that you want to paste the pivot to in the Node view and open its Layer Properties by clicking the yellow square. You can repeat this step to open multiple Layer Properties if you need to paste the coordinates into multiple Pegs.
  2. The Layer Properties windows will open up on top of one another. Make sure to move them apart so that you see all of them and they are placed next to each other.

  1. In the Layer Properties windows, find the x and y axis coordinates in the Pivot section (at the bottom).

  1. Using copy and paste, highlight the coordinates of the peg you want the pivot position from, copy them, and paste them into the same fields on the Layer Properties windows of the other pegs. Make sure you do this for both the x and y axis coordinates.

  1. Click on the Close button on all the open Layer Properties windows when you are finished. Changes will automatically be applied.

Option 2: Use Copy/Paste pivot buttons

  1. In the Node view, right click in the Node View toolbar to open the Toolbars menu.
  2. At the bottom of the menu select Customize.
  3. The Toolbar Manager window appears:

  1. In the Available Tools section, search or scroll to locate the TB_CopyPastePivot scripts.

  1. Select both scripts and select the middle arrow to transfer them to the Toolbar section on the right.

  1. Click on the OK button at the bottom.
  2. The Node View toolbar will now have gearbuttons for copying and pasting pivots:
