Easy.
Just assign the layer to the Master first using Edit Master.

I've spent ages creating a load of new master shapes in a custom stencil.

Many of them will need to have a specific layer assigned to them.

Two questions, please:

firstly how do I assign a default layer to a master I've created.

secondly (and hopefully) is there a way to do this in a batch rather than
have to do them all individually?

many thanks.
