Is there a way to copy decals (specifically letters & numbers) from one mech to another?

And is there a way to get decals to be the same size as each other? For whatever reason, some seem to scale up/down at different percentages.

You mean, like copying loadouts, for example? No it is not.

No, you must do it manually and continue until you are comfortable with the result.

Well, maybe somebody has found a way of copying a set of decals from one 'Mech to another, but I do not know how it would be posssible. There is no list of decals that you could save, not to talk about uploading it on a different 'Mech.

With all the different mech-models, I don't see a way how to import a set of decals (since players often merge single decals into invididual decal-creations) onto another mech. Potential coordinates would result in odd / invalid placement on different mech-models anyhow. So kinda certain there ain't no way to import em.

I was hoping some copy 'n' paste option.

Import could just be the decals themselves, and their sizes in relation to each other.

Yes, but it takes a bit of poking.
Get one decal at the same size as you want the others to be. Save the camo. Move the decal to a new decal slot, then reset the old slot to saved state. You have duplicated the decal at the same scale and rotation. Now you can change the decal used for the slot and it will maintain scale and rotation.

Ah, didn't think of that. Thanks!
