# Copy and paste animation

You can copy the animation defined for one graphic object in a display and then paste it onto another object. Use Copy Animation and Paste Animation options on the Edit menu to do this.

## To copy the animation from an object

1. Select the object whose animation is to be copied.
2. Choose Copy Animation from the Edit menu.

## To paste the animation to another object

1. Select the objects to which the animation is to be copied.
2. Choose Paste Animation from the Edit menu.

   Tip: | You can select the object, then open the relevant Animation dialog box to review the details of the animation before you copy it. You do not have to close the Animation dialog box to copy the animation, simply choose Copy Animation from the Edit menu. When you paste animation onto an object, it overrides and merges with any existing animation.
