[Gvsig_english] two shapefile editing questions

[Sergio Clark]

Hi Joanne and Wolfgang,

About question 2, I think you can do that with the new editing Merge 
tool (gvSIG v1.9). Using it, it will create a multipart feature, with 
one unique record into the attribute table. The only 'bad thing' is that 
you loose the attributes of one of both original features, because it 
only keeps the attributes of the first selected.

You can use this tool with polygons or lines (even if they are not 
touching), but not with points.


Regards,
Sergio.
