The Map Editing group in the Features tab provides geometry editing operations on the map. The application offers the following feature editing operations, which are only available when the current vector layer is editable.

• Paste: Copies clipboard content to editable vector layers of the same type.

  When the current layer is editable, click the Paste button (or use Ctrl+V) to paste geometries from the clipboard to the current layer. The attribute records of pasted objects will be appended to the end of the target dataset's attribute table.

  Note:

  The clipboard must contain pasteable content.

   

  Copied objects can only be pasted into datasets that support them. Supported dataset types for different geometries are as follows:

  • Point objects can be pasted into point and CAD datasets, or layouts.
  • Line objects can be pasted into point, line, region, CAD datasets or layouts. When pasted into point datasets, line objects will convert to point objects (nodes become points). When pasted into region datasets, non-straight lines will convert to regions: closed lines form region boundaries, open lines connect endpoints to form regions.
  • Region objects can be pasted into line, region, CAD datasets or layouts. When pasted into line datasets, region boundaries convert to line objects.

  Copied Object	Target Dataset Type
  	Point Dataset	Line Dataset	Region Dataset	Text Dataset	CAD Dataset	Layout
  Point	Supported	Unsupported	Unsupported	Unsupported	Supported	Supported
  Line	Supported	Supported	Supported	Unsupported	Supported	Supported
  Region	Unsupported	Supported	Supported	Unsupported	Supported	Supported
  Text	Unsupported	Unsupported	Unsupported	Supported	Supported	Supported

• Cut: Moves selected geometries to clipboard.

  With editable layer selected, choose geometries (Shift for multi-select) and click Cut button (or Ctrl+X) to move geometries to clipboard.

• Copy: Copies selected geometries to clipboard.

  With editable layer selected, choose geometries (Shift for multi-select) and click Copy button (or Ctrl+C) to copy geometries to clipboard.

• Multi-layer Editing: Controls editable status of multiple layers. For details see Enable Layer Editing.
• Undo: Reverts last operation.

  With editable layer selected, click Undo button (or Ctrl+Z) to undo last operation.

  Available only after editing operations.

• Redo: Restores last undone operation.

  With editable layer selected, click Redo button (or Ctrl+Y) to restore pre-undo status.

  Available only after undo operations.

• Delete: Removes selected objects.

  With editable layer selected, choose objects and click Delete button to remove them.

• Style Brush: Applies object styles to others. See Style Brush for details.
• Attribute Brush: Copies editable field values between objects. See Attribute Brush for details.
