From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Aniruddha Banerjee Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2011 2:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Maptitude] A "How To" question Hi Wesley, I guess you have multiple precincts (lets call it 'A') bisected by this line (street segment; lets call it 'B') and you want the bisecting points (polygon and line intersection) to be identified as nodes? Please elaborate... If so, you need to do the following: a) convert the precinct polygon layer 'A' to a line layer using TOOLS-->GEOGRAPHIC-UTILITIES-->LINES/AREA-CONVERSION and add layer (let's call it 'C') b) merge (TOOLS-->GEOGRAPHIC-UTILITIES-->MERGE-GEOGRAPHY...) 'C' with the 'B' and let's call this new merged line layer 'D' c) convert again 'D' to a polygon layer using TOOLS-->GEOGRAPHIC-UTILITIES-->LINES/AREA-CONVERSION (this time it's the opposite) and call the new layer 'E' d) this new layer 'E' will have 'B' split into several segments by the precinct boundaries. You can select (SELECTION-->SELECT-BY-LOCATION) the segments of 'E' based on 'B' : you have your street segmented! I guess all your 100 or so segments can be done following the above steps just once! If this is too confusing please let me know ...

The street extends beyond the borders of the precinct. I would like to break the line into multiple connected segments. Although I can think of a way to do it, it's going to be quite slow and I have about 100 or so to do. Any thoughts?
