Insert a layer (with objects) as a sub layer into another layer

[suneelkv]

Hi Chaps,

I don't know all of a sudden I was trying different things today, and nothing working out. Please see my requirement, I have read in forums somewhere it is not feasible

Red in the top is the layer which I want to insert as the first element in the Green highlighted layer

I have the code with me which shall include the content of "Touch Area Coordinates" layer into "Touch Areas" layer at the starting, but instead of content I would like to insert the whole layer.

Is that a feasible solution?

Regards,

Suneel

Turns out that it is actually very simple, as the layer object has a move method just like pageItems !

doc.layers.getByName("Layer 2").move(doc.layers.getByName("Layer 1"), ElementPlacement.INSIDE);

That's cool it worked.

So it is qualified as "Correct"?

Tagging an answer as correct really helps us when helping people with there questions.

it also helps others when they can see a thread that has been tagged as having a correct answer.

it means there is a good chance it may have the answer they need.

if silly-V has given you the info you needed to get things working it would be great to tag his answer as correct.
