More than a little irritating.

In fact this has seriously annoyed me. I’ve spent days re-organising the multiple layers of a house plan which uses a Symbol I’ve created as each Window, just sized to suit each instance. Much of this re-organisation involved using the Layer Menu’s Duplicate or Transfer commands to move each layer where I now want them. Time consuming but nothing complex.
I’ve just noticed that it has thrown away EVERY SINGLE window (symbol). I have no idea when this occurred so I cannot simply Undo to get them back. Aaarrggghhhh!
I opened an earlier copy document of this document which still has the windows. I started by Duplicating a layer that has these window symbols to a new layer so I could then move the windows to another layer all on their own and then try and figure out how to copy them to the latest doc that’s lost them. But lo and behold, the Duplicate command throws away all the window symbols, even in the originating layer.I’ve no idea what happened in the destination layer as I immediately closed the doc before it got saved, quit Cadintosh and sat down in a darkened room before I did something I might regret later.
But seriously, this is a MAJOR problem. First of all, a simple Duplicate process is throwing away objects instead of copying everything to the new layer and even when that is fixed, I have a lot of these window symbols in the older doc (in the correct positions in the drawing as that has not changed) and I need to simply copy them all and paste them into the appropriate layer in the newer doc.
I need Thorsten’s help here.
