    Dear users,


    Can you please let us know what is that you cannot do with the existing 'save selection' functionality that you expect to do by grouping objects from different layers?


    'Save selection' enables you to combine objects from different layers without having to bring them into one single layer.


    To use 'save selection' just select your desired objects and save the selection from the select > save selection menu command or from the bottom of the layers panel.

    Yeah, this would be a huge help! We frequently work with Dielines, Foil, and Spot UV which need to be on separate layers, but have to move with the artwork. Having to group for positioning and then needing to separate back out into the correct layers is really annoying.

    InDesign puts objects back on their original layers when you Ungroup, and even just that ability would be a big help!
