11. Repeat Steps 3–10 to create the line that marks the front of the door.
Later in this project, you need to be able to work with the car body shape as a single piece.
If you left the door lines on the Body layer, the car shape would be effectively split into
three pieces by the door-edge lines. To solve this potential problem, you are now going to
move the door lines onto their own layer so they do not cut the car shape into pieces.

12. Using the Selection tool, click one of the door edges to select it, then Shift-
click to select the other.

13. With both lines selected, choose Edit>Cut.
When you cut an object, it is removed from its original position and temporarily stored
on the Clipboard — a reserved area of memory that allows you to temporarily hold
objects until you need to use them again somewhere else. This is not the same as deleting
(as you did in Step 10); when you delete a selection, it is not stored on the Clipboard.

14. In the Edit bar, click Scene 1 to return to the main Stage.

15. Select the Door layer as the target layer and then choose Edit>Paste in Place.
The Paste in Place command puts the cut objects in the exact position as they were cut
from, but on the now-selected Door layer instead of the original Body layer.

You are now back
on the main Stage.

The lines are
pasted in the exact
position...

...but on the now-
selected Door layer.

16. Save the file and continue to the next exercise.
