Layers import

Anonymous

Hi,
When copy/paste elements from other project AC used to ask about layers (new layers to be added or Archicad layer) and now (AC12) there's no such a dialog anymore when I paste stuff from other projects.
How to set the AC to ask about layers when pasting stuff?
Thanks

Archicad only asks that if the layers in question are turned off or locked. If you want the dialog, you could turn off all your layers first.

Thanks Tom,
it works fine on all machines (PC) in our ofiice exept mine! I make all layers hidden then det this dialog, then ask to put all in AC Layer, then call for original locaion, then paste. Instead of having all those elements in AC layer only, I see them in their own NEW layers. On other machines the pasted elements go to AC leyer as requested. What can be possibly wrong with my settings?
Thnx again

Do you have your warning messages turned off in the Imaging & Calculation section of the work environment?
