mmm ... a beer!, I can lose this :-). Well, Your are right, split tools is thinking to work over a few features, but we need establish a limit because the tools are undoable and uDig could have memory problems.
To work with many features (all features of a layer or many selected) we are developing Spatial Operations. We have not Split Operation now but maybe the problem could be solved with "Intersection Operation". Using Intersect Operation I would do the following: 1. Create a layer with the geometries required to intersect, two polygons by example. 2. split first step: Intersect the source layer using the first polygon and create a result layer 3. split second step: Intersect the same source, now using the second polygon, and selecting the same result layer (that used in step 2) . If we think that split a feature is delete the original and create two new the previous process has a fail, we still maintain the source features because the "Intersect Operation" does not delete the originally features (I think I lose my beer with the last comment). well you can see more about Intersect and spatial operations in http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=9947 Cheers On Friday 25 May 2007 13:42, Andrea Antonello wrote: > Mauricio, > your tools are awesome!!
