Attribute Painter Tool

1 0 0 24 October 2022

The Attribute Painter tool allows you to copy filled attributes from a specified source object to selected target objects.

How It Works:

1. Select the objects (they should be highlighted in yellow) that will receive the filled attributes
2. Select the Attribute Painter tool from the Attribute Table Toolbar
3. The cursor will change to a selector → point to the source object from which you want to copy attributes.
   If there are multiple objects under the cursor, a list of objects will appear in the info panel for selection
4. After selecting a single source object, a configuration panel appears in the info panel – a list of attributes available for copying.
   Select all attributes to copy or only the selected ones
5. Enter the buffer value in meters or select the attribute where you store the buffer values you want to generate.
6. Click Copy > the attributes will be saved in the target object/objects

Assumptions:
The copied attributes overwrite existing values in the selected target object/objects.

Use case:
The user has drawn 10 new sewer connections and would like to copy attributes from an existing object that was added earlier and has all attributes fully completed.

If you do not use the Attribute Painter to copy attributes, you can copy individual attribute values using the browser.
