§  If you only want to attach all polygons, which have been attached to all the layers in Edit mode, on the Polygons tab, in the Select group, click Common Polygons.

2.     If you want to attach the polygon(s) to multiple layers:

a.     Select the Edit check box for all layers you want it attached to.

b.     On the Polygon Edit tab, in the Layers group, click the arrow next to Attach to Layer and select Attach to All layers in Edit mode.

3.     If you want to attach the polygon(s) to a specific layer, do the following:
