Store global objects.

I am setting objects to Global in the object type properties but when I load a new layout they are not retained and I cannot see them on the screen. What am I doing wrong?

Need to see a cut down .capx to find out what you're doing wrong here.

got all my plugins from this thread. main rexrainbow ones. Think i am only using one or two of them in this project.

— here we are! a completely cut down version in which the text from layout 1 does not show in layout 2. layout 1 has 1 layer... layout 2 has 2 layers.

It works if you switch the layer order around so Layer 0 is always on the bottom. Something to do with the layer ordering I guess?

yeah its a layer ordering problem from my tests too... The question is... How can I move these objects to the front layer?

Select the object and then change the layer in its properties on the left.

Or if you mean changing the actual layer order, select the layers tab at the bottom right, then you can simply drag layers to order or use the arrows at the top bar to move layers up and down.

it need to be done when it is running in the events sheet.

I figured the second part to this puzzle out.... The items on the layer need to be brought to the relevant layer in the new layout by moving object one by one to that layout.

More long winded than it should be but I guess these are features to be added.

I would just keep the same layers across all layouts. That's the easiest way to make sure nothing is going wrong. I think it's weird that you can have different layers between layouts to start with tbh.
