problem with layers

Postby silvertje_sil » Wed Nov 04, 2009 7:59 am

is there a way to get objects OUT of a layer? cause i need objects to be at the top but the layer they're on is the lowest and if i switch the layers tehn i got the same problem but with other objects.
I didn't notice but when i was creating objects, inkscape put them automatically in an existing layer, and that was not supose to happen, so with out having to deisgn everything all over again from scratch (which i don't like cause it's a lot!) is there a way to remove objects from a layer without deleting them :s i tried everything, so please let there be an answer i like

Create a new layer above the existing one and move the object to the newly created layer using Shift + PgU. Open the Layers dialogue and you'll get a better understanding of what you can do with layers by looking there ;)

Tx i didn't realize it was that simple normally i found find such solution my self, guess i paniced for a moment i really didn't want to start all over cause it allready cost me a few days.
i created a new layer and brought it on top but teh problem was now that teh objects weren't on that layer but still on another, i thought how can i move them from one to another, i just tried to cut them and paste tehm into the new layer and it worked yay.

i normally don't use layers tho, at least not created by me, i guess most of teh time inkscape does it for me
