The Home | Clipboard | Copy to Another Layer command copies all selected objects from the active layer to another layer of the map. The objects are copied to the same position in the destination layer as they are in the existing layer. After the command is selected, the Copy to Layer dialog appears allowing you to choose the destination layer. The Copy to Another Layer command can also be clicked in the context menu accessed by right-clicking on the selected object(s).
