Copying Content¶

Now that we have created a new feature type, we can use cut and paste to grab geometry content from our WFS. This is different from the export we did earlier in that we are using our layer type.

• Change to Tasmania map and select Navigation ‣ Zoom to All in the menu bar.

• In the Layers view make sure that tasmania_water_bodies_Type is selected as shown below.

  

• Select Box Selection from the tool palette.

• Use the Box Selection tool to draw a box around all the lakes. The lakes will change color when selected.

  

• Select Edit ‣ Copy from Edit menu. These lakes will be placed onto the clipboard.

  

• Switch over to the New Tasmania map. Ensure your select Lake layer is selected in the layer view, and right-click mouse button to select Paste.

  

• Press Commit button to write these new features into your Scratch layer.
