      Hello

      I've created a DC in which I use the copy function.
      It's a sort of a frame, with the partitions made in the copy function.
      So if the frame is 1000mm long there are 4 (3 copies) partitions, if you scale it to 2000mm there are 8 partitions (7 copies)
      However when I load the DC in my new drawing, everyting keeps the layer in which it was created. The DC is in the current layer from the moment I have loaded the DC.

      But when I scale from 1000 to 2000mm, the first 4 partitions keep their original layer, but the new copies are in the current layer. Is there a way to keep the original layer while copying?
      And is it possible to place the layer info in a attribute, to give it trough an attribute to a component? Or to get it from a component and place it in a attribute?

      Thanks a lot in advance, I've should have paid more attention during the English lessons though.

      Regards

      Ludo

          in this case i apply needed layer to geometry(not components or groups). Is not good, but it working.

            The behavior of the COPIES attribute failing to also copy the Layer would be considered a bug in Dynamic Components.

            Hi
