Moving objects between layers
You can move objects from one layer to
another by cutting objects from one
Layer and pasting them into another, or
by using the Layers palette; you can also
reorder the layers in your artwork.
The Paste commands can be used to
move objects between layers. With the
Paste commands, if objects are cut or
copied from different layers, they are
pasted together onto the selected layer
by default.
With the Paste Remembers Layers
option, you can retain the layering order
of pasted objects in your artwork, so
that the Paste commands do not affect
layering, but affect only the
stacking
order of objects.
To retain the order of pasted objects:
1
Choose File
>
Preferences
>
General.
2
Select the Paste Remembers Layers
option, and click OK.
