Copy and paste between 2 or more AI2 projects

Hello guys, I know that I can copy and paste blocks of code using the backpack but... is there a way to copy from a project and paste on a different project part of the components on the Designer tab?

You can use Ctrl C to copy and Ctrl V to paste into another Project - that carries across directly related Blocks too, but not related media or extensions.

If you need to copy a lot of components it's probably better to copy the file and delete the unwanted components - you then also have anything that was stored in media (assets) and extensions.

Note that the block copying behavior can be suppressed on paste by using Ctrl+Shift+V (Cmd+Shift+V on macOS) to just paste the design.

Very interesting, I think this is a very good general solution, I will try it today.

Unfortunately it does not work for me. Seems that the merged project has something wrong on it.
