Hallo everybody,
I didn't understand how copy a vector layer from a document in an other document. Same thing about a selection: how to copy it created (and saved) in a document - to another document?
I mean when both document are opened..., of course.

Thanks for a reply.

You should be able to use the 'Move' tool, ('V'), to just drag the layer (from the workspace, NOT the layers panel), onto the other document.

Make sure the 'Layer' you want to move is selected in the layers panel.

If you have your documents 'Tabbed' then drag to the 'Tab' of the document where you want the layer....wait for it to open....then drop onto the workspace.

If you want to 'center' the layer hold down 'Shift' before dropping.

Note:
When you drag the layer it WILL move in the document but will revert back to its initial position once dropped on the target document.....so don't worry about it moving, its normal.

Regards.
MrTom.
