Clipboard transfer

Clipboard transfer reads metadata from a single Figma layer and applies it to the node currently selected in Kanzi Studio. Clipboard accepts any layer as the source.

Selection contract

Any single Figma node, or a multi-selection. No type restriction. With a multi-selection the lowest layer in the tree wins as the source.

What gets transferred

Clipboard sends a narrow set of per-property values:

• Layout: x, y, width, height

• Rotation (when non-zero)

• Opacity (when set)

• Constraints: horizontal and vertical anchoring

• Corner radius: uniform value, or per-corner topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft, bottomRight when set independently in Figma

• Fill colour: first visible SOLID fill only

• Stroke colour: first visible SOLID stroke only

Note

Clipboard reads both the fill colour and the stroke colour from the source, but a Kanzi node currently has a single brush colour and receives only the stroke colour. A future release will resolve this ambiguity.

Clipboard does not transfer the following. Use Shape or Text transfer instead:

• Stroke width, stroke alignment

• Gradient fills or strokes

• Text content, font, size, line height, letter spacing, alignment

• Effects (drop shadow, blur)

The Clipboard view in the Kanzi Studio plugin toggles individual properties off before clicking Apply. To copy only the rotation without overwriting the colour, toggle off all other properties.

Options panel

The Figma-side options panel is preview-only. It lists the properties that the source layer can provide. The per-property toggles are on the Kanzi Studio side. See Clipboard mode.

Tip

Clicking a colour swatch in the Figma options preview copies its hex value to the OS clipboard. In Kanzi Studio, paste the colour into any colour property with Ctrl+V. Use this to copy a single colour without running a full transfer.
