Introduction

  • Objective of this section
    • To perform spatial queries among features of a map using different spatial operations
  • Topics in this section
    • Base selection: features defining the base of the query
    • Spatial operations: diverse types of spatial operations and the layer on which the operation is applied


What are Spatial queries in Spatial Manager Desktop™?

Spatial queries are geometric operations that Spatial Manager Desktop™ can perform to help you locate Features that interfere with other Features under certain conditions. For example, as you can see in the next picture, to locate which points of a Layer are found within the polygons of another Layer

How can I define a Spatial query in Spatial Manager Desktop™?

To define a Spatial query in Spatial Manager Desktop™, you need to define the base of the query first, by selecting the Features to operate, next you must select the "Spatial query" function, and then you select a Layer to query and the type of operation to perform. When you select the Features to operate, you can select a full layer if you want to perform an interference operation between two full Layers
