I'm having the same issue with the 2018 update, as listed in this forum post. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2408129 It would really help my company to see this resolved in the next patch update.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document with layers. Paste Remembers Layers should be On in the Layers panel.
2. Select All and drag to the CC Libray panel
3. Create a new Document
4. Select the Library item and choose Place Copy (or alt drag to artboard).Actual Result: A group with the Artwork name is placed. Original Layers lost
Expected Result:: as in CC2017 the layer structure would be kept.

Please bring this back. We are getting items on the wrong layers now. This is serious as item are not making plates, and printing plates or visa versa. Without this we will go back to copying elements from a master document , as too much proofing and error isn now introduced.

Dragging a graphic into Libraries and then using it in After effects is great BUT if when you dragged it into AE the named layers remained in tact it would be very useful.
Also nested Illustrator files (in an illustrator document) could open up in after effects as comps that you drill into to access layers. It would save a lot of set up time. Thanks :-)
