    Hi There,

    I’m having trouble with the swapToLayer.

    I have two layers, my current foreground layer (containing a rectangle) and background layer (containing an oval). if I now run the following

    currentGlyph = CurrentGlyph()
    currentGlyph.swapToLayer(‘background’)

    the rectangle is moved to background, but the oval disappears, foreground becomes blank. I had expected that the content of the layers is just swapped, foreground > background and background > foreground.

    Thanks, Martin

    Hi Martin,
    you might try:
    currentGlyph.flipLayers(‘Layer_A’, ‘Layer_B’)

    hope that helps,
    jo

    Hi Martin

    swap will copy the glyph to the destination layer and clear the current layer
    flip will copy the glyph to the destination and copy from the destination layer back to the current layer

    as you already found out, thanks Jo
