In this second post dealing with Overlays in ‘Spatial Manager’, we will analyze another interesting operator (Clip), which creates objects from the areas of the Source that overlap with the Overlay. Use Clip in order to find objects that lie... more

This post starts a series dedicated to one of the most powerful geometric and data-driven analysis tools included in ‘Spatial Manager’: the Overlay command. There are several operators to apply in the Overlay function, but they always have in common... more

Among the spatial analysis tools included in ‘Spatial Manager’, the Buffer function allows you to generate Buffered polygons around point, linear (lines, polylines, etc.) or polygonal (boundaries) objects. Buffers have multiple applications to analyze objects and their relationship with their... more

It is often useful to create enveloping polygons from the union of other adjacent polygons that share some data in common. Among the many examples that could be detailed, for example, obtaining county or provincial boundaries from the boundaries of... more

Although you can insert text Labels on objects while are generated in any ‘Spatial Manager’ import process, the application now also allows the Labeling process to be performed on existing drawing objects using the new SPMLABEL command, which will tag... more

It is very common that when handling polygonal spatial information (Parcels, Buildings, Zones, etc.), the polygon data is attached to its Centroid, a point element, usually inside the polygon, which concentrates its alphanumeric information. ‘Spatial Manager’ includes powerful tools to... more
