QGIS Copy paste points from one layer to another


Well I have an outline layer and a region layer.

The region for sure sure using the outline, so it would be great if I could select some important point from the outline layer and than copy paste it to the region layer.

How is that possible?


Solution

  • The way to go is another. Let's say we have layer outline(o) and region(r).

    You create the polygon in o and after that select it. Now hit CTRL+C for copying. Now switch to r and paste it there with CTRL+V. It should be the same place now. Don't forget to disable the view of polygon from o for sure. Now in r you can use the Split Features from the Advanced Digitizing. Now split the polygon at the place where you need it. Delete the second unwanted polygon after that.
