Copy Selection

This can be used to copy an existing geometry to either the same layer or a different layer. If it is copied into a different layer, then the field names and geometry type must match. E.g.: a draft TPO (tree preservation order) can be copied and added to the Confirmed TPO layer. Copy Selected Records window consists of 3 sections:

1. This section also allows you to select from which layers records should be copied.
2. Here you can select whether selected records should be copied to newly-created or pre-existing map layer.
3. The last section allows you to enlarge copied geometries by buffer (in metres).
