Hi Lene,

try the DigitizingTools plugin [1]. The function that does just what you want is "Cut with polygon from another layer". Be aware that this tool is intended for use during digitizing: you can decide which features of layer A to cut and which features of layer B to use for cutting by making selections. It is possible to cut all features of layer A with all features of layer B, though.

Hi



I have two layers of polygons

I want to make holes in the first layer using the second layer as mask.



I can do this by function ‘Difference’ – but the result is a third layer.

I would like the holes in the polygons to be in the first (existing) layer.



Any suggestions J
