Copy Paste individual symbology

MiguelMartinezYordan — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 14:58:16 GMT

Once I selected a specific symbol for a point feature, let me copy a paste that symbol to any other point layer, either as a single symbol or under unique values. I want to be able to right click an already assigned symbol and right click and paste it on another feature.

Thank you for your feedback. Beginning in ArcGIS Pro 3.4 you can copy a subset of layer properties, including symbology. Please see Copy and paste properties between layers or tables > Copy a subset of properties for more information.

Another shortcut to consider if you are working with just a single symbol as you describe in your scenario is to save that symbol to your Favorites style, then on the second layer, select the symbol from the top of the symbol gallery.

Thanx @EdiePunt!!
This is REALLY helpful. I've been waiting for this at least 6-7 years since it was already possible in QGIS 3.16.

It took you so long to implement it in ArcGIS. I've said it before but I really think you guys at ESRI should generate more maps in QGIS to really grasp how much flexible it is.
