Attribute manager for layer content

Paopao — Fri, 26 May 2023 13:21:05 GMT

I have tried to use Attribute manager to import layers of other .pln file into the one I am working but I only seem to import the layer, not the content. I ope the file I want to import payers from in Attribute Manager on the right hand side, click on the layers I want and click Append then OK, but the content doesn't transfer. What am I doing wrong?

Attribute Manager does not import content.

Select, copy and paste to bring in layers and content. (Of course you will have to update Layer Combinations for the new layers).

thanks Stuart,
I thought it was possible to import layers in this way too, without actually opening them. I think it is possible in Autocad. So the old copy and paste method always work.

But beware, copy & pasting brings in all the attributes from the first file.
