I would like to copy and paste a selection of entities while maintaining their individual layer associations.
For example, I want to draw a new floor, so I start by copying all the entities from the old floor to a new location. But all the pasted entities become part of the currently active layer, so I am obliged to go through and re-assign them to their proper layers, for instance walls, windows, doors, dimensions, columns, text labels, etc., sometimes one entity at a time.
Is there an easier way to do this?

Re: Copy entities while maintaining layer associations
When pasting, make sure that the option "To current layer" in the options toolbar is not checked.
