Hello all, recently I created an eclipse and then option/alt and dragged to make to 2 more copies.


How come they are represented by a single symbol of 3 overlapping elipses



on the layers panel and not 3 sperate layers?


When I have tired to replicate this, I get 3 sperate layers each with a single elipse.


Can anyonne please explain what I did differently?

I think the only way this could’ve happened is if you entered edit mode before duplicating the ellipses. Then you duplicate the shapes within the same layer instead.


Much appreciated. I have a feeling that is exactly what I did.
