Copying layers

It is sometimes useful to make a copy of a layer and all the objects on that layer. You can then independently edit the original layer and the copy.

To copy a layer

1. From the Utilities menu, choose Layer Gallery.

2. Click on the name of the layer you want to copy. This selects the layer.

3. Click the Copy button in the gallery.

4. Type in a name for the new layer. (See Note.)

Note

Layers MouseOff, MouseOver, MouseDown, Selected and BackBar are used by the Button & NavBar Tool. We do not recommend creating layers with these names as this could affect bar creation. For more information on bar creation see Creating Navigation Bars.

Tips

This makes a copy of a layer. To create a new empty layer, see Creating layers.

You can quickly copy a layer by right-clicking on it. This opens the pop-up menu. Choose Copy.
