In the course of my daily data maintenance workflows, there are two feature classes that I frequently have to copy & paste attributes between (it's an address point layer and a driveway access layer - I'm copying a unique ID and address attribute information from the address point layer and into the driveway access layer).
More precisely, my steps are:
- Use the Create Features window to drop a brand new driveway access point at the start of the driveway.
- Select both the pertinent address point (which is placed on the house's rooftop) and the new driveway access point.
- In the Attributes window, highlight the address point feature, right-click it, and choose Copy Attributes.
- In the same window highlight the driveway access point and choose Paste Attributes.
^ This is the moment when the driveway access point is spatially moved to the location of the address point.
Is there a known cause for this? I cannot think of what I've changed in my environment to cause this behavior to suddenly begin....it does happen every single time, but it never used to.
