Query GSA with Visible Area Only
In Spatial Engineer 11, the tutorial covers querying with a Geographic Search Area set to Visible Area Only, which limits the query to the viewport in your drawing area. Here’s a summary of the steps outlined in the tutorial:
- Setting Query Boundary Type:
- Access the Spatial Engineer System Settings by going to the File pull-down menu.
- In the System Settings dialogue, navigate to the Query Boundary Type and select the second choice, which is typically the CAD View Extend option. This choice restricts the query to the visible viewport in your drawing area.
- Zooming into the Area of Interest:
- Zoom into the specific area of interest within your drawing where you want to focus your query.
- Performing the Query:
- Right-click to access the context menu and select Query. Choose New Case to start a new query session.
- In the Geographic Search Area section of the query dialogue box, ensure that it is set to Visible Area to restrict the query to the current viewport.
- Executing the Query:
- Select the features you want to query, such as copper plants, and add any additional parameters if needed.
- Execute the query to retrieve results that are limited to the visible area within your viewport.
- Reviewing the Results:
- Upon executing the query, only the relevant data within the visible viewport area should be displayed, providing a focused view of the queried information.
By utilizing the Geographic Search Area set to Visible Area Only in Spatial Engineer 11, users can efficiently narrow down their queries to specific regions within the drawing area, enhancing precision and reducing clutter in query results.
