Copy selected graphic items to different layer

Registered by Mikael Stewart

A complex Edge.Cuts layer requires many lines and arcs. Often a Margin layer is needed to match the Edge.Cuts to allow a correctly bounded copper pour. This can be achieved with a DXF double import to both layers, but if a DXF is not the source of your board outline (or it is lost etc), the only alternative is to 1) In high contrast mode, copy all Edge.Cuts artwork 2) Open a new PCBNew window and paste 3) Edit > Move and Swap Layers 4) copy+paste back into project's PCBNew window. This is cumbersome.

Suggestion: Following selection of all graphic lines/arcs, provide right click menu option to duplicate or copy to different layer.
