Feature Description

The Attribute Brush assigns the values of specified editable fields (including SmUserID field and non-system fields) from one object to others. Only fields with the same name and type between the reference object and target objects will be updated. In practical applications, it's often necessary to copy attribute values from one object to others. For example: copying land use type attributes from one parcel to other parcels of the same type. The Attribute Brush simplifies attribute assignment and improves processing efficiency.

• Applies to all vector layers including point, line, polygon, and CAD layers.
• Click the Attribute Brush button to open the Brush Settings dialog for configuring fields to update.
• Supports consecutive attribute assignment to multiple objects.
• Allows box selection to assign attributes to multiple selected objects simultaneously.
• Supports cross-layer updates, enabling attribute transfer between objects in different layers.
• Supports snapping configuration. Enable map snapping in the Features group to automatically snap to objects during operations, enhancing data processing efficiency.
