Pasting layers of same name MUST be added to layers of same name?
Greetings, I create maps using Illustrator. My process goes from editing in CAD, opening the .dwg in Illustrator, then adding relavent data or layers to my .ai file.
The issue I am having is that when I am adding new data from CAD that has the same layer name as one that is already existing in my .ai file, Adobe gives me this prompt, "You are attempting to paste or drag into one or more layers that are locked or hidden. Do you want to unlock and show all appropriate layers?"
My options are, 'Yes' or 'No'. If I hit 'Yes' the stuff I am trying to paste gets lumped into a layer I don't want them in, then I have a rough time going in and fixing it. If I hit 'No' it cancels the paste. I want to hit 'No' becuase I don't want to unlock ANY layers, I want the new data to be on their own layer. This makes total sense to me, but that 'No' button actually needs to be a 'Cancel' button, or give me the option to paste data to new layers with the same layer name.
Maybe there is a setting for this to turn off, but I can't find one. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
