Merge Vectors

Summary

Use this tool to combine multiple vector data files into a single vector file. All input feature classes must have the same geometry type, such as point feature classes can be merged between them, but line feature classes cannot be merged with the same plane feature class. The tool does not split or change the geometry from the input dataset, and even if there is an overlap of features, all features in the input dataset will remain unchanged in the output dataset. When you merge feature classes, the output data uses the coordinate system of the first feature class in the input dataset list. If any input layer contains a Z value (elevation value) or an M value (measured value), the output layer will also retain these attribute values. If any input layer is a multi-part feature, the output layer will automatically inherit the multi-part structure characteristics.

Usage

ClickData Management> Vector Tools > Merge Vectors

Settings

• Select File:：Enter the vector file from which you need to remove the duplicate vertices. The input file format supports shp and gpkg formats, and the feature types can be points, lines, and surfaces. For gpkg format, the duplicate point operation is performed on all features of each layer in the file.
• Feature Type：Specify the feature types of the merged vector features, including points, lines, and surfaces.
• Add Source Information：Specifies whether to add source information to the new text field MERGE_SRC. The value in MERGE_SRC field is used to indicate the source input dataset path or layer name that is the source input for each record in the output.
• Output Path: Output file path, and all split vector files will be output to this folder.
