I have a selected layer, and I'd like use this selection to select things in another layer. I can't find a way to do this.

What I have to do is to select a single layer of color depth to select then the depths of text for just this layer. The depths of text all come in on a layer of my GIS. I manually select each and place them on their respective layers, but as you can see, which could take some time. I saved a selection thinking I might be able to use it, but it did not work. In photoshop, it was so easy, but not so much in Illustrator. I hope that I am missing just something simple here... ideas?

I will eventually write a code in GIS software to move the strings to a layer for each of them. The depths are actually extracted a file of S - 57. They were a little difficult to understand at first, but we wrote a code to exit the depth z and convert meters into feet. If I have to color code using the current file I end up touching each other anyway.

So the key is that this could be a plugin great idea for an Illustrator 3rd party app. I asked Astute about this yesterday, but they had nothing in mind for now.
