How to change the layer of a ground plane

vtolentino

I was trying to change the layer of a ground plane, through Shape -> Select Shape ->Active Class and Subclass but it does not seem to work. Am I missing something here?

Thank you.

    Use edit / zcopy to copy the shape to another layer. Use the option tab to select new layer.

    Hover over it with 'Shapes' in the find filter; RMB; Change to Layer ; click on whatever layer you want to go to. It won't work in Shape/Select Shape Mode.

    Thanks for this topic I also searched for the same topic sitting in my property in Barcelona all day long. I just used "Select Shape Mode" and it worked!
