| Re: [udig-devel] Creating new dataset from selected features. | 
Dave Sampson wrote:
I would like to load a dataset (ESRI SHP), select features using the 
select square, once the features are highlighted I would like to copy 
those to a new layer. That is I would like to pick out lakes in my area 
instead of for the whole province. Equivalent to arc make new shapefile.
I have had no luck with QGIS or UDIG, having projection issues in GRASS, 
and have not re-downloaded  JUMP yet (I think I remember doing it in 
JUMP before). I'm stuck. Any other sugestions? Or is it back to Arcview?
One of the students in the recent training course did something similar 
to this. Quick question is do you have a development environment? Based 
on the export shapefile tutorial source code (in svn) it should be about 
a 5 line change to export the "selection" for the current layer.
The tutorial currently shows how to export the current layer.
If you don't have time or facilities please place this as a Wish in the 
bug tracker for the UDIG 1.0.1 release.
P.S If I live on the bleeding edge is there a plugin or other snapshot I 
can use?
Actually that would help a lot, if we know there is interest in an issue 
 from the user community (and can get help with testing) it goes a long 
way.
As for the bleeding edge - We do have a nightly release system, Last 
release is from Thursday. We are going to package up a release tomorrow 
for Chris Holmes. And then focus on uDig 1.0.1 (db2 support and update 
manager).
The support page 
(http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/UDIG/Support) contains 
links to the uDig Roadmap and issue tracker.
Thanks for you interest,
Jody
