This is starting to really frustrate me. I must be missing something because the way I expect layers to work is counter intuitive to how they actually work.

I have an object in a layer and I create a new layer, I go back to the first layer and select that object and right mouse "remove selected". Then I go to the new layer and "add selected".

I toggle the new layer and see the object flick on and off, terrific, it must have moved into that layer.

But then if I toggle the first layer off, the object disappears even though the new layer is meant to display it.

The membership box will show that the original layer still has some connection with the object.

Anyway it's all Topsy-turvy and seems to run on some kind of negative-land logic that I can't fathom.

Can anyone point me to a clear explanation, tutorial or advise me to the correct process?
