Creation layer

Pastes objects into the current creation layer. This is the layer whose name appears with a yellow background in the Layer Bar.

Always ask

When this option is checked, a menu always appears when the tool is invoked, letting you choose where to paste the objects.

same layers – Pastes objects into the layers they were cut or copied from. If the layer does not exist, it is created.

duplicate layers – If objects from a layer with a name identical to an existing layer are pasted (for example when copying and pasting between stages), the layer is duplicated and a number appended to its name. For example, if the original layer is called curves, the duplicated layer will be called curves#2.

To merge the contents of all duplicate layers into the original (and delete the duplicate layers) use Layers > Delete > Merge Duplicate Layers. In the example above, the contents of layer curves#2 will be added to layer curves, and layer curves#2 will be deleted.

new layer – Pastes objects into a new layer. A confirm box appears where you can type the name of the new layer.

DefaultLayer – Pastes objects into the DefaultLayer.

You can also paste into any of the existing layers by selecting it from the list (for example, L1, L2, etc)
