Copy from attached file (e.g.) with transfering layer/preferences of object?

Can this be done? Best, Anika.

Hi Anika - please be more specific, give an example. I do not know what you are asking.

Sry. Was working on something and couldnt folow up… So if I have a 3dm as a worksession reference/attachment, i am able to copy the object (e.g. polyline) from the reference, but its copied to the active layer, therefore doesnt transfer its preferences, like layer of the referenced file.

To do what you’re asking, you would need to open a second instance of Rhino with the other file, then you could Copy/Paste from one file to the other, but not through a Worksession link.
