Move and copy objects in the Logic Pro Environment
You can move and copy objects within a layer or between layers, using a variety of
techniques.
Move an object by dragging
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
Grab the icon, name, or positioning bar to the right of the object (in the case of
keyboard and fader objects, for example), then drag it to a new position in the layer.
Hold down Shift, then drag the object to a new position in the layer (beneficial in the
case of keyboard and fader objects, for example).
Note: Remember to first deselect any other selected objects by clicking the layer
background, to avoid moving them as well.
Move objects between layers by dragging
1. In Logic Pro, open a second Environment window (Window > Open MIDI Environment)
that displays the target layer.
2. Select the objects you want to move in the first Environment window, then drag them
into the second window.
Move objects between layers using the Layer pop-up menu
1. In Logic Pro, select the objects you want to move.
2. Hold down Option, then choose a layer from the Layer pop-up menu.
The selected objects are moved to the chosen layer.
Move objects between layers using the Clipboard
1. In Logic Pro, select the objects you want to move.
2. Choose Edit > Cut from the Environment menu bar (or press Command-X).
3. Choose a destination layer from the Layer pop-up menu.
4. Click the layer background to make sure that no objects are selected.
5. Choose Edit > Paste from the Environment menu bar (or press Command-V).
Note: If any objects are selected when you try to paste objects to the current layer,
a dialog asks if you want to replace the current selection. If you press Return or click
Replace, the selected objects are replaced by the objects in the Clipboard. The existing
cabling remains intact.
Copy an object by dragging
In Logic Pro, option-drag the object with the Pointer tool.
