Copying a layer
Solution

To append the duplicated layer to the end of the layer list (ILayerList) in the target document, use
kCreateLayerFromLayerCmdBoss.

To position the duplicate at a position of choice in the layer list (ILayerList), use the following:

1. kNewLayerCmdBoss creates a new layer.

2. kMoveLayerCmdBoss positions the new layer.

3. kDuplicateLayerCmdBoss copies the content.
