Replicate to Layer tool

I like using different layers for tool paths. I think it would be a lot easier if you can replicate vectors to layer instead of copying - > pasting - > transfer to layer - > aligning.

If I’m reading this right, the problem is that you want to duplicate something in place, correct?

You can skip aligning by:

  • copying
  • moving the cursor out of the drawing area
  • pasting (which when the cursor is not in the drawing area will cause a paste to be aligned)
  • transfer to layer

It’s the same number of steps, but nowhere near as annoying.

Yes, that’s pretty much it

Never thought about it, but I tried copying, changing the active layer, then pasting…
No luck!! Still have to “Move Selection to Layer” :frowning:

@Tod1d
I have done those very steps a lot in the past successfully. I’ll have to double check and see if that has changed as I rely on 2 - 3 layers of letters to be in the exact same place for signage.
