Layer Moving Tokens are used to move an object (or group of objects) to another layer.
The token consists of "LAYER:" followed by the name of the layer on which you want to move the current object.
For example:
[LAYER:MyTestLayer]
If the layer does not exist then it will be created.
When using QuarkXPress 2015-2024
The position of the created layer is not guaranteed, with respect to the textbox that contains the [LAYER] token.
If the position of the target layer, with respect to other layers, is important, then you should create that layer in the GridTemplate, in the desired position.
When using InDesign
The position of the created layer will be above all the other layers.
If the position of the target layer, with respect to other layers, is important, then you should create that layer in the GridTemplate, in the desired position.
When using QuarkXPress 8-10
If you use Layer Moving Tokens with QuarkXPress versions 8-10, then you should always un-check the remove opf layers generation option, otherwise you will get a message that your current generation options are incompatible with Layer Moving Tokens. Additionally, if you plan on using a layer which already exists in a GridTemplate, then you should also un-check the remove gridtemplate layers generation option.
