I’m delighted to be using the new LAYERS feature.
It seems as though, that the use of LAYERS break the connection between an object and the FRAME it is in. I.e If there are objects in "FRAME A" , which is on the BACKGROUND LAYER (I think all frames are always on the background layer) and if I then move some of those obejects to a new layer called DETAILED LAYER, when I try to move FRAME A to another area on the canvas, only the objects in FRAME A which are still in the original BACKGROUND LAYER (because I didn’t move them to DETAILED LAYER), still move with the FRAME A.
So it looks as though when you move an object to another layer, it breaks the connection with the FRAME it is in.
I have found a work around in that if I SELECT the FRAME A and ALL objects within it, I can then move that selection. But its extra work as I have to lock any envelopping frame (to avoid it being selected) and then be sure to select every object within FRAME A. I think that this slightly goes against the purpose of having frames. (please correct me if I’m wrong?) I will still use layers with this work around. But it would be GRAND if using layers didn't break frame attachments. (like in Adobe Illustrator - art boards still move objects regardless of which layer those objects are in. Of course I appreciate that that Adobe Illustrator is specifically for graphic design and so I don’t expect the same functionality! It’s just a useful comparison for this specific idea).
Thank you and please let me know if for some reason it doesn’t make sense.
