Moving Objects
You can move objects by grabbing their icon or name, and dragging them to a new
position on the layer. The surface of keyboard and fader objects is used for their operation.
You must therefore either grab the name (if available), or the positioning bar to the right
of the object in order to move them. If you hold down Shift, you can also grab keyboard
or fader objects by their surface.
Positioning bar
Note: You can Shift-click any Environment object to select and move it. When doing so,
remember to first deselect any other selected objects by clicking the layer background,
to avoid moving them as well.
You can use the Layer menu and the Clipboard to move objects between layers. You can
also open a second Environment window and drag the objects to a different layer.
To use the Layer menu to move objects to a different layer
1 Select the objects.
2 Hold down Option, and select a layer in the Layer menu.
The selected objects are moved to the chosen layer.
To use the Clipboard to move objects to a different layer
1 Select the objects that you want to move and choose Edit > Cut (or use the corresponding
key command, default assignment: Command-X).
2 Switch to the destination layer.
3 Make sure that no objects are selected (by clicking the layer background).
4 Choose Edit > Paste (or use the corresponding key command, default
assignment: Command-V).
Note: If any objects are selected when attempting to paste objects to the current layer,
a dialog asks if you want to “Replace current selection? No/Replace.” If you press Return
or click Replace, the selected objects are replaced by the objects in the Clipboard. The
existing cabling remains intact.
To drag objects to a different layer
1 Open a second Environment window that displays the target layer.
