 Hi All ,

I want to use this command , the layout design hierarchy depth more than 32 , it's 50 , 

If i set 50 in ;x_nLevels , it will show 

*WARNING* noname :Illegal hierarchical level of 50 specified.

How to yank more than 50 nLevels?

50  ;;;x_nLevels   
[ l_refPt ]
[ x_nSides ]
)

Thank you,
Charley

    Hi Charley,

    if Yank is limited to 32 levels then you probably only have a few options available; you could flatten some hierarchy until you are left with 32, or you may be able to Descend / Edit In Place 18 levels and Yank the remainder? I suspect that you may need to consider re-structuring so that you only use 32 levels of hierarchy or less, or you may just need to repeat the Yank command at different levels to achieve a similar result to yanking through 50 levels. What are you trying to yank through 50 levels, does this make the case for a new cell?  The Yanked data is flattened anyway, so temporarily flattening and then Undo-in may be reasonable...

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
