This feature is useful for combining or merging the contents of two or more layers.
- Choose the layer containing the objects you want to copy from the Active Layer list on the toolbar.
- Use the Edit tool in the toolbar to select the objects that you want to transfer. You can select multiple objects by holding down the SHIFT key, or by performing a sweep select. Note that the Edit tool only becomes active for layers that are checked on in the Workspace.
- Right-click the selected objects and click Copy.
- Select the target layer from the Active Layer list.
- Right-click anywhere on the map and click Paste. The pasted objects will appear at the same location as they were in the source layer.
If the attribute fields are the same in both layers, all attribute values are copied. Attribute fields from the source layer that are not included in the target layer are removed.
