This way, you'll be able to copy and paste the features inside the data frame rather than copying and pasting the data frame itself. If you want to copy and paste features while in layout view, make sure you are working with a focused data frame.

Another method is to join the attribute table for the source features to the attribute table for the new features, then use the Field Calculator to append permanently the existing values to the new features. You can copy and paste the individual attributes or use the Attribute Transfer tool on the Spatial Adjustment toolbar to pass along the existing attribute values to the new features. Attributes without default values will have a null value.

If the target feature class or subtype has default values, feature-linked annotation, or connectivity rules defined in a geodatabase, the copy will have the default values and behavior appropriate for the target layer. When the source and target layers have different schemas, a copy of the geometry (but not the attributes) of the selected feature is created. Click the place where you want a copy of the feature to be pasted, or drag a box into which the features will be scaled and pasted. Click the Copy Features tool on the Advanced Editing toolbar. However, you can copy polygons into a line layer.Īttributes will be copied and pasted along with the geometry if the source and target layers are the same or if they are in different layers that have identical schemas. Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking features to select additional features.

ArcGIS Desktop vesrion -10.3.1 Oracle version - 11.2.0.4 Can anyone help on. It is working when we are copying features class from file geodatabase to file geodatabase. You can copy a feature and paste it into another layer, but it must be the same type of geometry (such as point, line, or polygon) as the one from which you copied. Hi, Copy features tool is failing when we are trying to copy any feature class from Enterprise geodatabase to file geodatabase. Why are these records not being matched? The GDBs are identical and all the records should be 'NC'.You can copy an existing feature by using the tools on the Standard toolbar. An examination of the optional output table when I reran it shows that for many of the SRC_FID values, there are -1 values in the TGT_FID and further down, those exact same SRC_FID show up in the TGT_FID with a SRC_FID value of -1. I would expect that the tool would return every record as 'NC' (No Change) because I haven't changed anything at all but.as Holly pointed out, some of the records are flagged as both 'N' (New) and 'D' (Deleted). That's it, nothing else, none of the optional parameters filled in. 01m (our established standard tolerance).
#Arcgis 10.3 copy features update
To do this, I copied the original GDB and then pointed the Update Features to the first GDB and the Base Features to the second GDB and ran the tool with a Search Distance of. I thought I would familiarize myself with the tool by comparing a feature class in a file geodatabase to itself. I found the same thing as Holly: some of the 2679 linear features I'm running through the tool have been flagged both as D and as N.
