First of all if you select a feature using the select tool, not the
edit tool (there is a bug with the edit tool) then select Edit>Copy.
You should be able to paste it into another Feature layer. There is
logic to covert the shape to the correct geometry type as well. For
example you can copy a polygon into a line or point layer. Then you
can just commit the layer that had the copy.
But that doesn't really your question does it.
I have to ask first what version of uDig are you using. The last 2
versions have had fixes.

Hi all,
I am a newbie in Udig and I am trying to modify a shapefile. I didn't
find a direct way to copy a selected feature from a shapefile to
another, and so I decided to import the old shapefile, delete the
features I don't want in it and save the result in a new shapefile.
Everything seems to be ok, but if I try to visualize the new shapefile I
realize that it is empty....
I just make the export and follow the export wizard right clicking from
the layer I want to export. Do I have to do something special? Where am
I doing wrong?
I have seen the archive and I found that this happens when trying to
export an Oracle Spatial layer... are there some links between this
problem and my problem?
Thanks in advance
Silvia
