I've been going off a blank puppet in Ai to create my own character and it's going pretty good so far concidering I've never used Ai or Ch until about a month ago. However, for some reason I no longer have suprised or smiling layers, or the sad versions, and I'm not sure what happened to them. I've been using the original mouths but for some reason those layers just dissapeared. I was going to just add new layers and redraw them, but it won't let me even add new layers to the mouth groups. What could I be doing wrong? is there a way to get those layers from another blank puppet and kind of copy and paste them back on the puppet ive been working on?

When copying and pasting them, make sure you keep the layers.

In the panel menu of the layers panel select to remember layer when pasting.

 

Then they should be pasted into the same group which is important for Character Animator

ok, I tried it but it still won't let me copy from one puppet in Ai to another puppet also in Ai.

And "won't let me" means exactly what?
