Clicking on the Edit/Load Clipboard menu item provides the means for loading a vector layer file directly to the temporary clipboard layer.

To load a vector layer file into the temporary clipboard layer

1. Click on the Edit/Load Clipboard menu item - this invokes the Load Clipboard dialog box.
2. Within the Load Clipboard dialog box, select the appropriate drive from the Look in list.
3. Locate the layer file by entering the directory that contains this file.
4. Double-click on the file name.

• To transfer all the shapes from the temporary clipboard layer to a vector layer, use the Paste feature.
• To save the temporary clipboard layer to a file, use the Save Clipboard feature.

• The Load Clipboard feature erases the previous content of the temporary clipboard layer.
• The Load Clipboard operation concerns only the shape's geometry, and not the attributes.
