Transferring vectors between layers
Transferring vectors between layers
You can transfer selected artwork between vector layers, or to a completely new vector layer.
- In the 2D or 3D views, select the vector artwork you want to transfer to another vector layer.
- Right-click the selected vector artwork to display its context-menu, and then select Move Vectors To. A list of up to 20 vector layers is displayed.
- Select the layer to which you want to transfer the selected
vectors:
- If you want to transfer the selected vector artwork to a
specific layer, select the name of the layer to which you want to transfer the
selected vectors. For example, Vector Layer
5. The selected vectors are transferred to the layer and are displayed
in the colour assigned to that layer.
If you transfer the selected vectors to a layer that is hidden, the layer becomes visible.
- If you want to transfer the selected vector artwork to a new layer, select New Layer. A new vector layer is created directly above the active layer in the stack and the selected vectors are transferred to this layer. The new layer is active by default.
- If you want to transfer the selected vector artwork to a
specific layer, select the name of the layer to which you want to transfer the
selected vectors. For example, Vector Layer
5. The selected vectors are transferred to the layer and are displayed
in the colour assigned to that layer.
