Hi, all! I finally got my elbow joints to work like a charm, and it took a LOT of time and tweaking. It would save me upwards of two hours of work if someone could tell me a good way for me to duplicate and move the several vector layers that make up my arm joints all at once. I would also like to know if there is a way to duplicate bones...
Thanks!- YA

This ability to move more than one layer was introduced in v6.

This saddens me greatly.
:'(
I can upgrade to Debut 8 for $15, but I have no idea if it supports these features...(?)

Can't you just put them in a Group Layer? (Use a Bone Layer instead in Debut).
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

No, this is a workflow issue - you just can't select and move/duplicate more than 1 layer in v5.
