Position of visuals when copy paste

Hello community, is there any way to paste a visual at the same position of the first one ?

 

When you copy paste, the new visual change automatically position in the dashboard. When you have a lot of visuals that you paste, it's very long to reposition all of them.

 

Thanks

Perhaps if you put them into a group then copy and paste the group?

@Pldoyon1in my experiennce, when you copy a visual from page1 to page2, it gets pasted in the same position in page2 as it was in page1.

 

If you copy a visual from page1 and paste in page1, the position changes. I had this issue and I had to change the coordinates in General for viz2 as in viz1.

Thanks for your quick response. Yes, that's right, from page 1 to 2, it's the same position, but in my case, I paste in the same page many visuals.

@Pldoyon1I know the exact issue yopu are going through. Cause I went through the same pain. The only way to reposition was to adjust the X.Y.Height,Width from General. And this is a manual procedure and having to repeat that for many visuals it is a nightmare.

 

I wish Power BI had illustrator like cpabilties to fix coordinates. Keep this thread open and someone with better tricks might help you and me.
