Search for: KB10885 - Move, copy, or rotate a vector shape with the TatukGIS Editor. The Editor MoveCopyShape script provides an elegant tool to move or copy the entirety or any portion of a line, polygon, or multi-line shape. Specific functionality: Move or copy shape geometry to a new location in the same map layer or different (new or already existing) layer. Move or copy only a portion of a shape’s geometry defined by the shape part and a range of vertices. Option to change the geometric type of the copied geometry, such as to copy the vertices from a polygon type shape to create a new multi-point type shape. New location for the shape geometry defined in terms of a directional shift relative to the original location (in map distance units) or as an absolute location. Attributes transferred to moved or copied shape if operation is performed on the same layer or to a newly created layer. (Moving or copying a shape to a different, already existing layer will correctly transfer attributes only if the attribute field structure of the move/copy-from layer and move/copy-to layer are the same. ) The Editor RotateShape script provides a tool to rotate a line, polygon, or multi-point shape around: the shape’s centroid, or one of the vertices forming the shape. As with all the scripts packaged with the Editor, the MoveCopyShape and RotateShape scripts can be executed via menu Scripts/Run/Open. Note: A polygon or line shape can also be rotated using the Editor COGO (Coordinate Geometry) tab. Created: September 28, 2012, Modified: October 17, 2012
