Note: The pasted object will adopt the constraints of the object it replaced. If the object is being pasted into a selected frame larger than your view of the canvas, Figma will place it inside the frame in a centered position to keep you within your viewing area.

the red star keeps its original position because both its x and y coordinates can be matched in Frame 3.the purple ellipse keeps its original position because both its x and y coordinates can be matched in Frame 3.When we copy the objects from Frame 1 to Frame 3 below:
the green square is centered on both axes because neither its original coordinates can be accommodated in Frame 2.the red star can only be matched with its original x coordinate and is centered on the y axis.the purple ellipse keeps its original position because both its x and y coordinates can be matched in Frame 2.When we copy the objects from Fra me 1 to Frame 2: In the example below, Frame 1 contains a purple ellipse, red star, and green square located at the top left, bottom left, and bottom right corners respectively. If the destination group or frame can't accommodate either of the object's x or y position in its previous container, Figma will paste the object in the center of the new frame. Pasted objects try to maintain the same x and y positions within the destination frame relative to its position in the group or frame it was copied from. When you copy and paste an object in your canvas, Figma considers your intended placement of the object while keeping you aware of your location and view of the canvas. Hands-on learner?
