There are a number of ways that you can accomplish this. Perhaps the easiest is to export your area layer as a layer of centroid points.
1) Under the tools menu, select export. 2) Set options as desired 3) Before clicking on the "OK" buton, check the "Export as Centroid Points" box. Your new point layer will contain one point for each of your parcels, where the point describes its geographic center. ============================================= Moshe Haspel, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science Spelman College Giles 215 350 Spelman Lane SW, Box 207 Atlanta, GA 30314 404-270-5654 (phone) 404-270-5666 (fax) "me_n_crew" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [email protected] 02/12/2007 01:01 PM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject [Maptitude] Assigning coordinates for a point in each of many areas Hi. I am new to Maptitude. I added my own layer from a shapefile. It consists of property parcels. Is there a method to assign coordinates to my data or export the table with fields for lon and lat? I would like to have only 1 point assigned to each record with the lat and lon in the decimal format. (The same as what appears in Maptitude while hovering with the mouse pointer over the parcel.) -- This message has been scanned by the Securiant SpiderISA for spam and viruses, and is believed to be safe and clean.
