Re-using Drawings and Images from the Current Animation

You can re-use vector drawings and bitmap images in the current animation by copying them to new elements, in the same or different scenes.

To re-use drawings and images from the current animation:

1. In the Animation folder, select the scene and element that contains the drawings you want to copy.

2. Decide what you want to copy.

To copy all of the drawings in the element to the new location, drag the element from the Library window to the Exposure Sheet or Timeline.
To copy only those drawings you need, drag selected drawings from the right column of the Library window to a new or existing element. You can also select the frame where you want to copy the selected content, [Control]-click the drawing or image, and select Copy to Current Frame from the pop-up menu.

Toon Boom Studio copies the drawings you select to the new location. The drawing you copy will have a new name. You can edit the vector drawings you copy in their new location.

You can also use the Cells tab to swap drawings assigned to appear at a frame with another one in the element folder.
