The function of layers have changed. Layers now act almost like a group. Geometry is frozen in the layer so if 1 element moves they all do, unless you double-click (like a group) to edit the individual object. It used to be more like a CAD drawing, where layers were used not to group goemetry so much as to manipulate the visible portions of the image.

is there a way to change it back or get the previous functionality?
Thanks
