howto copy a level

Jason
Hi,

I'm getting around LibreCAD okay, but I can't figure out how to duplicate an existing level into a new level. I'd like all entities in the old level to be copied, so I can modify the new level without changing the old version of that level.

How can i do this?

Thank you!

Jason

Jason,

currently the only way to copy a level is to select all items in that level (layer)
and copy them to a other location on the same level.

Then change the attributes for the selected entities to move them to the 
layer you want to.

Admittedly not to quickest way.

How to copy all the entities from a layer to another layer:

Hide all layers except the one containing the entities "Baselayer"
create a new layer called "targetlayer"
set "targetlayer" as actual (the selected layer in layer list).

Start command move/copy, select the entities, for reference point write in commad: 0,0
for target point write 0,0.
In move options dialog check "Keep Original" and "use corrent layer"
click on OK button

That's all folks

Thanks Rallaz.
You actually do not need to do exactly what you said but the part not using CTRL+C but the Move/copy function is tha key because you get the window asking if you want to "Use current layer".
