What it does

Allows you to add any selected objects to a specific layer. You can identify the layer concerned by selecting it using another Action in the same Action List.

How to proceed

1. Add a first "select" Action to the Action List, to select the layer to which you want to assign the objects.
2. Add a second "select" Action to the Action List, to select the objects to be added.
   Note: You don't have to specify operators in between the two "select" Actions. However, you can also use combined "Select" Actions to specify the layer or the objects concerned (see example 2).
3. Add Add objects to layers and select the Add to selected layers radio button.

Examples

Select layers by name <!-- Select layers by name and set the layer name to Layer1 -->
