Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD provides a comprehensive set of tools to perform spatial analysis operations with the vector entities in the drawing and their attached data, resulting in new objects generated by the resolution of such operations
Spatial analysis operations can be performed on a combination of tables, layers or drawing objects previously selected by interacting with on-screen elements or by using the application's advanced selection queries
Overlay
Allows you to create new objects based on geometric and data operations between two existing object groups. These operations are':' Intersect, Union, Erase, Identity, Clip, Paste and Symmetric Difference
Generate new Polygons based on the grouping of other adjacent polygons with some common data
Allows you to generate polygon Centroids (Point objects) by adopting the polygons data, or add Centroids data to the polygons that contain them
Creates polygons defined by the sets of points closest to each point of a selection in the drawing (Voronoi diagrams)
In this third example on spatial analysis using Overlays in ‘Spatial Manager’ we will apply the “Intersect” operator. This operator determines the geometries that overlap in the Source and Overlay... more
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... 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... 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... more
