[Qgis-user] Copy features from multiple layers

[Huesmann, Michaela]

Hello Hailiang,



what geometry type and database are your layers you want to combine? And what kind of database should the combined layer be?

For example if you need a shapefile you can not combine objects of different geometry type. I mostly use Geopackage layers where you can combine different geometry types.

Also you must be aware that the combined objects need the same data fields.



The easiest way is to select the needed objects in the base layer and copy them in the cache. Then activate editing mode for the destination layer and paste the features there.

Another option is to export all objects or selected objects of one layer to a new or existing layer. If the layer already exists you can choose if you want to replace or to add.



Hope it helps you!

Best regards,

Michaela

Hello all,



I am trying to copy features from multiple layers and paste into one, but couldn’t find a way. Am I missing something or this is not supported in QGIS UI?



Thanks,



Hailiang
