=== Cut/Copy and Paste ===

Cut/Copy all selected object(s) in order to paste them in another dataset or as a new dataset :

    * Paste as a New Dataset

Good to know : 
  * The Cut/Copy and Paste functions from the Edit menu make it possible to copy closed polylines to an area dataset or visa versa. 
  * Attributes are copied as far as the[[110:orbitgis:datasets:contents:structure| Attribute Components]] of both resources are compatible.
