Copy Layer Properties is a very useful feature allowing changes made to a single layer to be propagated to other layers, maps, and sessions. The properties can be assigned by the matching table name (screenshot 1) or Tag (screenshot 2) assigned to a layer via the map's layer properties or Modify Layer tool.


Below is a list of all available properties to copy with additional explanation when it was required:

  • General – Title
  • General  -Tag
  • General – Description
  • General – Copyrights
  • General – Metadata URL
  • General – Visibility Thresholds – minimal and maximal visibility scale + layer visibility setting,
