Seems like even though I hide the layers if I hit copy(cntl+c) or paste(cntl+p) my layers get all screwed up.......

In Lightwave you can copy and paste things to differant layers.
Now so far in Maya it seems like this isnt possible....I'll try to copy some geometry and it doesnt work.....fine......but then I turn around and all my objects are in the same layer and I have to seperate them again.....

Whats the general rule about this?
Just avoid copy,cut and paste at all times or what?


Thanks guys!

copy and paste hotkeys ? i didn't know that you can do this with layers - are you are sure about that ?

use the commands in the layer menu - add selected ... - remove selected ... - and so on - what are you trying to achieve ?

Not the layers....the objects or geometry...
The layers are doing fine but I was thinking you could copy and paste geometry to differant layers....:shrug:

there is no copy & paste functionality in maya - at least nothing assigned to ctrl-c and ctrl-v - what you are seeking sounds more like a convenience function than a feature

if you want to duplicate something into a new layer, well, duplicate something and put it in into the layer :eek: - doesn't that do the job?

Yes it works....I was thinking it might work like other windows programs.....
Ok...thank you for clearing that up.:thumbsup:
