All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class Copy
extends AbstractGPTool

Copies input data and pastes the output to the same or another location regardless of size. The data type of the Input and Output Data Element is identical. The Copy tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• If a feature class is copied to a feature dataset, the spatial reference of the feature class and the feature dataset must match; otherwise, copy fails.
• Any data dependent on the input is also copied. For example, copying a feature class or table that is a part of a relationship class also copies the relationship class. The same applies to a feature class that has feature-linked annotation, domains, subtypes, and indices—all are copied along with the feature class.
• To copy a geometric network or a topology class and all the participating feature classes, simply copy and paste the network or topology class only—this inlcudes all participating feature classes.
• The copying of .txt and .sdc files is currently not supported.
