Maptitude - http://research.umbc.edu/~roswell/maptitude.html
I have a layer of points (schools) and a layer of polygons (sections). I
create a selection set of the polygons that are within 1.5 miles of the
points. In many cases, a point "shares" the same polygon within the 1.5
mile radius. Thus, within the 1.5 mile radius of point #1 are polygons #1,
#2, and #3. Within the 1.5 mile radius of point #2 are polygons #3, #4, and
# 5. Thus, polygon #3 is common to both points. Now, I want to tag each
polygon with attributes from the points layer. I create a new field and
fill it using the TAG method. This works great, except for the common
polygons. These polygons get tagged with the attributes for the last point.
What I need is for another record to added in these cases so that I have a
table that has:
Polygon #3 Attributes from point #1
Polygon #3 Attributes from point #2
Is it possible to do this in Maptitude? In the past, I've had to do this
for just a few points, so I created separate selection sets for each
point/polygon combination, tagged them, and then exported them and
recombined them outside Maptitude. Now, however, I need to undertake this
type of analysis on thousands of points, so this solution is not practical.
Any insight is appreciated.
