Copy paste from one file to another and keep masks

[mattias@gordon.se]

Hi,

When I copy a layer and its sublayer and paste into another file the sublayers are lost and if I have a mask in these layers are lsot and I have to remask them.

Is there a way to copy paste and keep the layer and sublayers?

What kind of masks? Layer based clipping masks?

[mattias@gordon.se]

Yes, layer clipping Masks, Since the sublayers dissappears in the paste I have to rebuild the layers and activate the mask again.

I can't replicate the issue.

Please post a screenshot of yor layer structure (before and after pasting), tell us your system and version and the exact step by step.

Did you check "Paste Remembers Layers" in the Layer panel menu?

I know about the "paste remember Layers" and I thought that was checked but it was apparently not so that was the easy sollution.

thanks a lot
