# Layer Copy

- Object
- Shift

Indicate here the number of layer copies to create and its destination.

Gamgi expects users to identify first the layer or list of layers to copy. When the Layer entry is active and empty, clicking the mouse over the window graphic area creates a menu with all the window layers (local selection), which can then be selected. The current layer is initially proposed in the Layer entry. Pressing the List button, the current list of layers is selected instead.

### Name

This is the name given to the new layer copies. The default is to copy the name of each original layer.

### Number

This is the requested number of copies, a positive integer. The default is 1.

### Window

After identifying the layer or list of layers to copy, GAMGI expects users to identify a window to where the layers should be copied. Pressing the mouse over a graphic area in any window (global selection), creates a menu with all the top windows, which can then be selected. The current window is initially proposed in the Window entry.

When copying a list of layers, the copies can also be created at the window of each original layer, by setting Window to Local.
