MI-L overlapping polygon maps

2004-06-10 Thread Michael Smith
I have 6 individual map layers of polygons each different but some polygons
overlap.  Each represents certain criteria for carports in our city.  I
would like to show these on a single print out where the overlap areas are
in a darker or heavier shade so that it shows this overlap area darker than
no overlap.  However, I would still like for all areas to be represented on
the print out map.  I would like to try and keep the same color say of grays
with the overlap areas being closer to black.   Any ideas on how I could go
about this?

Depends if you are looking for a one off print.  If you are, being a v7.5
user I would be tempted to set the style of all regions to one of the
lighter dotted region styles (ensuring that Background is set to clear).  I
would then select them all, and click ObjectsCheck Regions...  I would then
Check for overlaps only, and change the regions that it find to a higher dot
density.  I think if you save the table, it would save the overlaps as
separate polygons, so you should save as a separate table.

Not the ideal answer but should work OK
