There's no feature for this yet - you'll just have to make a new layout, add the layers, then copy-paste the contents from one layout to another.

Just copy the layout.xml and the layout.uistate.xml

change the names of the files to whatever you want. (for example to layout2.xml and layout2.uistate.xml)

open the new layout2.xml and change the name of the layout in the third line:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<c2layout>

    <name>layout2</name>

open the project.caproj with the a text editor and add the following line:

(scroll to the end of the file to find this part.)

<layout-folder expanded="1">

    <layout>layout.xml</layout>

    <layout>layout2.xml</layout>

</layout-folder>

Could I ask here if "Clone-layout" function has any chance to be on the to-do-list?

If we want to make a game with multi-levels, isn't this function seems necessary?
