Cutting and pasting features (Defense Mapping)

The Production Cut And Paste tool can be used to cut selected features from one feature class and paste them into a target feature class in one step. It deletes selected features from the original feature layer and pastes them into a target feature layer only when the following conditions are met:

• The selected features are in the same feature class.
• The source feature class has the same geometry type as the target feature class.

In the example below, an administrative area is pasted as a foreshore area.

An administrative area has been pasted into a coastal area feature class.

The Production Cut And Paste tool is not enabled on the toolbar unless you are in an edit session.

Etapes :

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, load data in the map.

7. On the Create tab on the Manage Features window, select the feature class to which the selected features are going to be pasted/moved.
