Web Editor Copy/Paste Tool

GarrettPhillips — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 13:09:37 GMT

I am using the new Enterprise 11.5 Web Editor in an attempt to replace my companies old web app builder application. I was wondering if there is (or will be) a way after you copy a feature to choose where you would like to paste it rather than just creating a copy right on top of itself and then moving it?

Hi @GarrettPhillips we've implemented Copy/Paste such that, after Paste is done the pasted feature(s) are selected and the Move tool is active so you can move the features. We felt this was a simple and straightforward experience.

Are you looking for a way to specify where the features should be placed before pasting them? Would this apply when pasting each geometry type: points, lines and polygons?

Yeah that is exactly the functionality I am talking about!
