[Qgis-user] Select a line or polygon to cut and paste to a new layer

[Saulteau Don]

There's an answer on GISse (http://gis.stackexchange.com/a/20967/1297) that
says the following:


   1. Start a edit session on both layers that you want to do the
   copy/paste against.
   2. Use the Select feature by rectangle tool to select the feature (copy
   from).
   3. Click the Copy Features button.
   4. Highlight the feature in the TOC that the feature will be pasted to.
   5. Click the Paste Features button.

That might help.

The select tools are in a single button (little arrow to expand for other
selection tools). There's an explanation on the qgis 2.6 visual changelog
at
