move w/o changing layer assignments

Post by uflem » Wed Sep 11, 2019 8:02 pm

I tried to move a selection of objects which were assigned to various layers. After the move, all were assigned to the currently active layer. How can I move, or more generally modify an object without changing its layer assignment to the active layer?
Thank you!

Please make sure the option "Use current layer and attributes" is unchecked in the move / copy dialog:
