Move Items to Layer Tool

What it Does

Transfers selected pattern elements from their current layer to a new destination layer without duplication. The moved items maintain all geometric properties and relationships while being removed from their original location.

info

Unlike copying, moving transfers elements completely. They will no longer exist on the original layer after the operation.

   • Move to New Layer - Creates a new layer for the moved items
   • Move to Existing Layer - Places items on a layer you select

For Existing Layer Option:

1. Select an existing layer from the hierarchical tree
