HI!

I have a massive problem.

Let's say I have 5 objects, object "1" to object "5".

If I assign object "1" to layer "a", object "2" to layer "b", and so on until object "5" to layer "e", and then assign all 5 objects to layer named "all", here's what happens:

1) objects "2" till "5" are removed from layers "b" till "e"

2) All 5 objects are placed in layers "a" and "all"

What I want is for them to stay in their respective layers AS WELL as their newly appointed layer(s). This problem does not occur if I assign objects 1-5 one by one into layer "all".

I'm doing something more complicated with 100 shapes and a few hundred connectors and assigning them one by one is just not acceptable.

Is there a way I can fix this? I couldn't find anything online...

Show us the code you are using for layer assignment.
