How can I select and ctrl-C copy multiple layer objects on one page and ctrl-V paste them to the corresponding layers on another page? Copying multiple layer objects seem to paist to a single layer.

You cannot directly paste layers, but with object on the layers it is possible.

  1. Make on each layer an object
  2. In the leaer panel activate paste remembers layers
  3. copy all those objects
  4. paste into the new document.
  5. Delete those objects again.

 

To get always the same layer in the same order in any document I have created a CC Library element with these objects. I drag them in my document and create so all my layers in the same way and delete afterward these objects from my document.

Open the Layers panel menu and choose Paste Remembers Layers.

Where are you getting that menu from? I don't see it.

Panels have a "panel menu" at the upper-right.
