Move Objects To A New Layer - Illustrator 2022 (easy method)

[@MAGAMAN]

Every time I have to use this program I am amazed at the idiocy that went into the design.

[@videomarknet]

Have to admit some things are really awkward

[@swiss_thony]

I was thinking the same thing

super helpful thank you!

[@penelopebarby5987]

Thanks so much.

[@GlenShannon]

Can you do this using an Action, to automate it? (select all on layer and copy to other layer) It's not a menu-driven recordable step so it doesn't fit the Actions mold.

[@videomarknet]

I'm not 100% sure as it wouldn't be clear which layer you want to copy to. Then again if an action is involved the usual copy paste wouldn't be much longer than triggering an action.

[@celjanmiha7178]

thank you!

[@tsedeytameru3280]

thankyou so much😊

[@joelprestonsmith]

That's a great technique. Thank you. But what if you want to COPY the object onto a new layer, and have it appear in the same position as the original object?

[@videomarknet]

Just hold the alt/option key while dragging

[@RobertFryatt-r1o]

Great tip.sooooo usefull. thanks

[@videomarknet]

thanks, Robert!

[@teresaduartesilva6449]

[@videomarknet]

[@priyankasalelkar3564]

Thank youu!

[@dylanrodriguez5216]

wow thanks you sir

[@portgas92]

Cheers

[@bluboks6865]

lol this is crazy manythanks

[@ZanacCommander]

ACE'D it..

[@GabrielKakeKake]

the problem is if you have multiple selected objects... that tip only works if you have selected just one :/

[@videomarknet]

you will still get sqaure indicators when selecting multiple objects and drag them one after another. Or with multiple selected just hit CMD/CTRL+G to group them together ....and then just drag one indicator on the new layer.
