Copying objects between FreeHand documents
You can copy objects between FreeHand documents by copying and pasting using the Clipboard or by dragging.
When you copy objects between FreeHand documents, your preferences determine which layer the copy will appear on. If the Remember Layer Info option is off, the object will be copied to the active drawing layer. If Remember Layer Info is on, the object will be placed on a layer with the same name as the source layer. If no layer with that name exists in the document, FreeHand will create one.
