Select Multiple Layers and Drag Down or Up (to Back or Front)

[ameliacarrie]

It would be wonderful if we could select multiple layers and move them at the same time.  For example, you've designed a card with images and wording. Then, you decide to put a bunch of stars on the background. You can copy and paste the stars but, each one ends up on top. Then, you have to drag each one individually down so it's in the back layer. It would be nice to click on them all then drag them down as a group.

What I do is to group all of the items (select them all and click on the group button on the top toolbar). From there you can right click on the group (on the artboard, not in the layers list) and choose "send to back." Once I've got them where I want them in the stack I either leave them grouped or un-group them - whichever is appropriate.

Hello, I use a MacBook Air. Trying to take advantage of the mask tool. However when I click "shift" and click on the mouse pad, this does not select multiple layers. It simply gets me to move a layer up or down. Any suggestions as to how I could fix this bug?

Never mind, I kept playing with my keyboard and found the way to achieve this: shift+command+mousepad. All good.
