Easier Dynamic Lighting Layer Usage

Maybe i could be just doing it wrong but building a map with 'walls' to block lighting is a pain. For example. I go to Dynamic LIghting and use the draw tool to build my walls. Great! Easy Peasy. But then i go back to Tokens layer to do the 'dungeon dressings and to add doors'. Oh, wait! What the hell!? What happened to my walls? Dang it! Now i need to draw walls too to figure out where everything goes... For those of us lazy bastards who like the simplicity of just drawing once. Can we set an option somewhere that when you are drawing a wall with the freehand tool you can make it so it makes a visible wall in teh tokens or map layer and also in the dynamic light layer? Am i making any sense?
use Ctrl/Cmd+A to select everything on the layer, then Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy selected object(s), then switch layers and use Ctrl/Cmd+V to paste copied object(s). if it doesn't paste to the right location, just select it all again, and drag it to where you wanted it.
