Why CANT i change objects layer?

Im trying to change object layer but from some reson it keeps on being part of the old one even though it is on a new one…

Is the object a block by any chance? Block definition objects remain on their original layer even if you change the layer of the block instance. --Mitch

Since you didn’t choose a category for this post, we need to know whether you’re trying to change a layer by hand, or via a script, or perhaps you’re writing a plugin, or…?

it was a block … got it
many thanks
