Copy from Google Earth and paste into Globalmapper

ofciftci

I have a workspace including many poligons and I need to edit them using both google earth and globalmapper. I'm moving my poligons from Globalmapper to Google Earth with just one click thanks to "zoom to view in google earth" option. But when I try to move a polygon from Google Earth to Globalmapper, I need to save it as kmz, then open it in Globalmapper. Is there any shortcut for this? I tried copy & paste directly, but it gives me "no data found to paste". However, when you copy a polygon from GE, you get its coordinates in clipboard easily, as seen below, which I guess GM should be able to convert to shapes easily.

I have added feature request #17382 to out task list so we can consider adding this capability to a future version of Global Mapper.  We will post a message to this thread when the status of the feature request changes.

JSL

That would be a great function.
