After updating from Illustrator 2019 to Illustrator 2020 the copy-paste function has changed. Previously in illustrator 2019: 1) Choose the item 2) hit Ctrl+C 3) Choose the layer you want the item to be pasted 4) hit Ctrl + V Result = The item is pasted to layer you chosen. Now in illustrator 2020: 1) Choose the item 2) hit Ctrl + C 3) Choose the layer you want the uten to be pasted 4) hit Ctrl + V Result = The item is pasted next to the old item in the old layer so in other words in layer you no loger are. While this may be logical, it makes the workflow much slower because you have to drag the item to the right place in the layer tree. I'm trying to understand why user can no longer choose the paste layer. Is Illustrator trying to make users use the isolation mode or something? The isolation mode kind of works, but the illustrator thinks the pasted item and the one in the isolation mode are compound path. What am I missing here? Have you come across how to copy + paste smart way in Illustrator 2020?
