I'm using Adobe Illustrator CS6 . I've two documents opened, A and B. On B, I've 10 (main) layers. Each of them contains other N elements. I'd like to drag and place one of these main layer to document A. How can I do it? Tried to click, drag above document A, wait for document switch, and release over Layer panel on Doument A, but nothing happens. Any clues?

The trick is from the Layers Panel Options > Check Paste Remembers Layers
The layer to be copied must have a different name than any other layer at the next file.
Select all the layer items clicking at the Layer Target Icon:
Copy and Paste at the next file.
