Hi all, @Helvetosaur, @andheum, @pascal I need to batch rename, actually add a prefix, all layers and sublayers names of some files keeping layer ordering and layer::sublayer::subsublayer structure intact. I found alre…

I’m wondering if there is a method to move a collection of objects that are on various sublayers from one parent layer to another. For example, I have modeled several objects on Shape 4 Details sublayers, but I want to …
