How can I duplicate and move a selected group?

[brandond15025946]

I’ve got a group selected and was able to move that group with `translate` easily. I now need to duplicate that group and move the duplicate to another location. `group.duplicate(doc, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);` gives me the error “Error: Target layer cannot be modified”.

Suggestions?

Hello, brandond15025946.

Is the layer on which the group is duplicated locked or hide?

Keep the layer editable. (unlock and show)

How about this?

group.duplicate(group.parent, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);

Shoot… it’s the parent bit I missed. I was targeting the wrong container. Thanks!

Bonjour;

layer.locked = false;
layer.visible = true;
group.duplicate(layer, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
