Hi danperk, it's cool to see the cross hatching getting used!

Not much.

What happens if you open the AI file made by Save As, then inside Illustrator select all and copy/paste into a new page do you see the same kind of layer mutation?

It seems to be something that Illustrator does when pasting.

Looks like there is a setting in Illustrator that you need to change so it won't merge all the layers when pasting:

On the Layers panel, there is a little arrow in the upper right corner, click on it and pick the menu item "Paste Remembers Layers".

Thanks Michael!

I deleted my post when I remembered the 'Paste remembers layers' setting. That was late last night, but you were on it!


Thanks for for best and fastest support in software development!

If we're getting it this fall, then I better save up for that licence key.

You’ve got time to save up. The V5 will be our Christmas present !

Just wanted to say how much of a massive time-saver the 'shift+delete' is on filleted corners!!!! Love
