Copy and Paste position and size of two different objects

Salutations,

I have a question, quite a tricky one. Is there any way how can I copy and paste position and size of two objects?

Let's say I have a circle 2 x 2 cm and it's position is y 5cm x 5cm, I have a square of size 3 x 7 cm and it's position is y 0cm x 0cm.

How do I copy and paste in a single command/step the circles position and size to square, so I can get square of 2 x 2 cm and it's position 5cm x 5cm?

Something like copy + paste in place with a different logics. I hope You understand what I want.

I'm doing it now manually, I'm copying size and position of one object to another [ctrl + c > ctrl + v] but it takes quiet a while,

Thank You for any suggestions,

regards

Bryan

That would probably require scripting, so maybe ask in the respective sub-forum...

Have you tried using Effects>Convert to Shape with a relative size of 0. If you want to keep the original, copy/paste in place first and work with the copy.
