Delighted to hear of this prospect.
On this subject, I still have a problem with multilayer which indeed
allows me to copy a bunch of objects from many layers that are within a
selection boundary. When I paste them, their separate layers are lost.
Is there any way of pasting that could both copy and paste the layer
information and put the objects each on their own layer?
