For an object that you copy to another layer using the Duplicate (Layer) command, the Copy To dialog allows you to specify the layers that it is copied to. It also allows you to specify whether it is copied to the associated data layer or drawing layer. Objects can be copied to multiple layers, including the active layer. It is displayed by clicking Home > Duplicate > Layer on the eCADSTAR PCB Editor ribbon, and then selecting an object to copy on the canvas. Alternatively, select an object to copy on the canvas, and then click Home > Duplicate > Layer on the eCADSTAR PCB Editor ribbon.
