segref Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 When recording a macro and I want to change layers, the attached "Select Layer" window pops up. There are various options available but I cannot use "Shift + select" to create a group. How do I get around this problem, or better still, remove the pop up altogether. For some reason the file won't upload Quote
carl123 Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Hard to give exact instructions without seeing the document's Layers structure, but effectively to group layers/adjustments try this... Group the lowest layer (by itself) Move the next layer you want in the group to just above the group then Arrange > Move Inside Repeat with next layer, etc, etc, etc PS To move layers in macros do not try to drag them, use the various commands in the Arrange menu Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

It seems that not only punctuation is gone by the board, but who came up with the idea of making a simple task so complex? I only had five layers to contend with. What happens when there are 10 or more. The mind boggles! Quote
