Copying entities from one file to another doesn’t carry the Layer information! This is frustrating. Am I doing something wrong?
How are you copying the entities? Layers should be copied with the groups and components to which they are assigned.
I use CTRL C, CTRL V
Perhaps you could share the LO file with the layers. Let’s see how your model is built.
BTW this is a message I get from Layout:
Entities will be pasted to layer “Default”.
The copied layers do not match the current layers of this document.
My mistake. At first I didn’t catch that this is a Layout thing. Layers don’t get copied in LayOut. Entities will get pasted onto the same layers in the new document only if those layers already exist.
(Sigh) This is a basic requirement, to be able to copy elements with their native layers.
LO should have the option- paste into current layer or paste donor layers into recipient drawing.
