Copying Existing Styles

Copying styles from another Layer​

When you're creating a Data Layer, you can copy a set of existing styles from another Layer. The copied styles can then be modified before the new Layer is created.

To create a Layer with copied styles:

  1. Click the top Layers icon. In the dropdown, click Add Layer.

  4. Click the Style Using box and choose Existing Layer. In the box that appears beside it, choose an existing Layer from the list. Only Layers that are compatible with the chosen data source will be shown.

  5. The Styles window lists the copied styles. Use the up and down arrows to reorder them as needed (the first style is evaluated first). To change the appearance or formula of a style before finishing, select it. See Edit a style.
