Copying object out of the group without it belonging to the parent group

[kamaal010]

When I copy an object for duplication, the copied object is still in the same parent group. How can I copy without it belonging it to the parent group. I ahve to always ungroup then regroup.. (annoying)

Paste it outside of the group. Select the layer that the group is in, then when you paste it will appear above the layer outside of the group.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

It is not necessary to dissolve the group. You only need to move the copy out of the group.

Welcome to the forums @kamaal010,

If I use Command + C to copy an item it is possible to paste outside of the group by deselecting the object and group. 

However if I use Command + J to duplicate an object then I get it inside the group. This can be a right royal pain.

Well, copying and pasting requires a little cooperation on the part of the user, because how is the programme supposed to know where to insert the copy? Should it be inserted 5 layers higher, 3 layers lower or at the beginning or end of the layer list or above or below the group?
I think this action is quicker if you do it manually. 
And when power duplicating (CTRL+J) you usually want to arrange the duplicates in some way.
