Introduction
Introduction
Using the copy/paste tools you can copy and paste geometries from one layer to another. These layers may be in the same view, in different views, or even in two different instances of gvSIG.
Requirements
The system requirements are the same as those required for gvSIG 1.10.
Installation
Installation instructions
This extension should be installed on the version of gvSIG for which it has been developed. This is indicated in the Downloads table for the extension. This version must be properly installed on your PC using the following steps:
WINDOWS: Download the EXE file from the Download Site on the web and then run the file. If the installer does not automatically find the directory where the correct version of the application was installed then this must be entered manually. For example, for gvSIG 1.10 on Windows XP the installation directory might be C:/Program Files/gvSIG_1.10
LINUX: Download the BIN file from the Download Site on the web and then run the file. If the installer does not automatically find the directory where the correct version of the application was installed then this must be entered manually. For example, for gvSIG 1.10 on Ubuntu 9.10, the directory might be /home/user/gvSIG_1.10
Instructions for use
Copy and paste geometries
Links have been created to complimentary tools for copying and pasting features between vector layers of the same type.
As the mechanism used to implement this tool makes use of the system clipboard, the source and destination layers can be either in the same view, in different views, or even in different instances of the application.
Copy items between layers with the editing session active.
This tool is used to copy features selected in a vector layer to the system clipboard.
The tool can be accessed in three different ways:
Through a button on the toolbar:
Through the Layer menu in the menu bar:
Through the context menu that appears when you right-click on the active layer in the TOC:
This tool will be displayed and activated when the active layer is a vector layer with selected features.
Paste features.
This tool is used to paste to paste to an editable layer features that have previously been copied to the system clipboard.
The tool can be accessed in three different ways:
Through a button on the toolbar:
Through the Layer menu in the menu bar:
Through the context menu that appears when you right-click on the active layer in the TOC:
This tool will be displayed and activated when the active layer is a vector layer in edit mode and of the same type as the layer from which the features have been copied. When used to paste geometries from the clipboard to this editable layer, fields in the associated table will be filled if they have matching names and types.

Project short description
Brief description of the project with two or three paragraphs, between 100 and 2000 characters.
It consists of a plugin with new features demanded by the Munich's council to be developed on the program gvSIG (Geographic Information System (GIS)). These features are a compendium of what is needed for certain tasks the council.
These features are:
- Copy/paste geometries.
It consist to add a new functionality to copy a feature from a layer and paste them to another layer. And the attributes who are the same type are paste, too.

Developers documentation
Introduction
We try to incorporate new functionality demanded by the Department of Health and Environment of the City of Munich.
This specific functionality, intended to support the possibility of copying a feature with its attributes and geometry from one layer to another.
This extension of gvSIG is an independent and uses the core to perform its functionality without changing the core code, but they develop and improve it.
Context
To establish an overview of situations where this component from the rest of gvSIG, we need to copy both the geometries and attributes of a certain layer to another type that is compatible to perform this operation.
This plugin will add two new gvSIG extensions, with options to copy to the clipboard and paste from the clipboard to the destination layer, therefore, provides the plugin code stays in the background image within gvSIG, without entering in FMAP.
Developers overview
It is a new feature that it aims to save the selected features in memory to paste them as required on any other layer, and in the event that their fields match in name and type attributes will paste also, if the layers are compatible in types of geometry is concerned.
Extensions provided by this plugin:
- CopyFeaturesExtension: The extent that implements the copying of pre-selected features.
- PasteFeaturesExtension: The extent taht implement those features that have previously copied to the clipboard.
