Copy and paste, move visuals between dashbooard pages

Hidear supporters,

How is it possible to move, copy and paste visuals other than native PBI visuals from one page/report to the others?

I am talking about Chiclet, Tachometer, advanced and cards with states.

Many thanks

    When selecting the visual, if you see the hand pointer, you are clicking on the interaction area of the visual and then the copy and paste will not work.  You need to see the arrow pointer when selecting the visual, this means you are selecting the visual object.  Try moving your mouse closer to the edge of the visual or, selecting it through the selection pane.

    You can copy+paste visuals and custom visual form one report to the other however if you copy paste  a custom visual between reports you need to have the custom report installed in both reports.

      MFelix  Thanks,

      Actually I tried already before but it didn't work for me! Even I couldn't copy, paste the visual (let's say Tachometer) from one page to another, this is the main reason of asking this question, so what are the root causes of this error?!
