Setting the polygon allocation of nodes

Prerequisite is that there are nodes within a polygon (territory, zone or main zone).

You can specify that a selected attribute receives the number of the territory, zone, or main zone in which the node lies.

You can execute the functionality for all, all active nodes, or nodes marked in the network editor.

Example

Ten nodes lie within the territory number 738. You can specify that all ten nodes receive the number 738 as Add Value 1. In the node list, you can then see immediately in which territory the nodes lie.

Editing all or all active nodes

1.  If required, set the nodes active, whose allocation you want to set, via

The selected nodes are active.

2.  In the Network window, right-click the Nodes button.

The Nodes context menu opens.

3.  Select the Set polygon allocation entry.

The Set polygon allocation window opens.

4.  If necessary, select the Only edit active objects option.

5.  Make the desired changes.

Element

Description

Object

In the drop-down list, you can select the type of network object whose number you want to use as attribute value.

Attribute to be set

Here you select the attribute that is to be assigned the number of the selected object.

6.  Confirm with OK.

The nodes store the number as attribute value.

Editing marked nodes

1.  In the network, mark all nodes whose allocation you want to set.

2.  Right-click in the network display.

A shortcut menu opens.

3.  Select the Set polygon allocation entry.

4.  Make the desired changes.

5.  Confirm with OK.

The number is assigned to the selected nodes as an attribute value.

Tip: You can also call the function from the shortcut menu of the corresponding list and edit marked objects together.

Note: Another way to find out the allocation of a point object (for example, nodes) to a polygonal object (for example, territories) is to use the Containing territories relation. If you display this relation in the node list, for example, the number of territories in which the node is contained is displayed. Vice versa, polygonal objects (for example, territories) have the relation Contained nodes, which outputs, for example, the number of nodes in a territory.
