Thanks Jaques
Thanks for your response, your suggestion is far quicker when dealing with
simple regions / lines.
I use the method I described when dealing with more complex problems. My
original polylines and buffers can have hundreds & even thousands of nodes.
(I've just been creating 1, 2 & 3 nautical mile buffers off just around
60,000 nodes of vector coastline from 1:50,000 maps - It's taken me about 3
hours today, but the boss's overheads are going to look great tomorrow and I
wont have to do them again next time we need the information).
A good point about packing the table too....
Regards
Russ
