Ceate new Layer with attributes of an existing layer

Is there a way to create a new layer that has all the same attributes of an existing layer, so I don't have to create a new one from scratch every time?  I know AutoCAD has this feature, by choosing an existing layer, then click new.

    Works like that for me, but you have to type in a new name.
    No, wait, what I do is copy the text of the name of the existing layer, click New, paste in the existing name, and modify it.

    The procedure is: select the source layer, then click the New icon. All attributes of the source layer are copied to the new layer, you only have to type a new name to replace the NewLayer1 default name. It works correctly in V15 and V16. Are you using an older version?

    And before that copy the source layer, Rename the source layer and then paste.
