Duplicate Selected entities

I tried the Duplicate Select option. I tried unchecking the Duplicate to Current layer.
The results ended up on the Current Layer not the original layer. What up ?

I did the same with the option for Duplicate to Current layer and the results landed on the Current Layer.

Paste the duplicate vector to an Active second layer.

With the Default layer showing and active create a second layer. Make that second layer Active.

Select a vector / object to duplicate from the Default layer, paste to current layer - the one that’s Active. Hide the default layer and presto, the object is only on the second layer.

The key is to paste to a different Active layer.

I was actually trying to get the new entities to reside in the original layers they came from without having to navigate to each layer.

What he’s saying is the “Duplicate to Current Layer” doesn’t do anything. An object from a non-active layer duplicates to the current layer whether it’s checked or not. :wink:
