Command Copy for a map

Purpose

Serves for copying a map.

Description

The system provides a possibility to copy a map as a whole together with features the map contains or only map structure. When copying the structure, the new map will have the same set of layers, feature types, styles, themes, etc, but will not contain any features. It is possible to include tables linked with the map into the operation of copying or only the structure of these tables and links (not copying records) or copy only the graphics.

It is possible to copy a map within the current GDB as well as between the current and any other GDB. The current GDB is always a source in the copying operation.

After selecting the command a nested menu: Whole, Structure, Graphics and Graphics Structure will be opened – the system offers to select the variant of copying.

After the variant of copying is chosen, the procedure of copying a map is started. This procedure consists of several steps and it is controlled by map copying wizard.

In mode of shared access to GDB this command is disabled.
