[Qgis-user] Copying multipolygon PostGIS features to shapefiles in QGIS 2.18.10

[Richard McDonnell]

Hi Chris,
Hi, you can do this using *New Temporary Scratch Layer*, *(Layer, Create 
Layer, **New Temporary Scratch Layer)
*The Dialogue box pops up**under Geometry Type, you can specify Polygon 
or MultiPolygon, you can then save this Layer when finished*.
*Hope this helps.

Regards,

Richard*
