Hi all,<br><br>now you guys made me think about copying features, files, objects. Puuh.<br>Let's stick with the copy text example.<br>If you will, copying a piece of text within a text document is like copying a feature within any layer (sic!), which you can do with the nice extension <i>copy&paste features</i> which was kindly provided by the city of Munich. You can alter the copy as you like and the original feature remains untouched.<br>
For copying the whole text document you always want to use "save as" within your favorite text processing software. That's windows style, isn't it?<br>The same procedure applies for generating a physical copy of any loaded layer within gvSIG as a whole - windows style again. OK, you will use "export to"...<br>
Of course you can also use the explorer to copy and paste documents as well as shapefiles ord dwgs, dxfs and so on. Surely you will recognize that a shapefile is a collection of at least three single files - as long as you use the explorer. ArcCatalog for instance will hide away this collection-state by displaying only one entry. Well, probably it was meant to make it easier to use...<br>
<br>So Klaus' data got messed up, sh** happens. I am sure everybody reading this list knows the emotions evoked by such a mess. <br>I also know this mess happened the last time!<br>Take it easy!<br><br>Best,<br><br>Johannes<br>

Sorry again, Ben: there was no "uncertainty" of mine what a shape file is and<br>
how it relates to physical data on the disk. To me you just argue like not<br>
wanting to understand or just not want to move away from your point of view.<br>
<br>
You may stay where you are, so do I...<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Klaus<br>
