In this edition we get excited about the upcoming OZRI / APUC 2010 event. To be held 3 - 5 March 2010 on the Gold Coast, the event promises to showcase a range of user case studies, technology previews and best practice. With Jack Dangermond, ESRI president and founder confirmed as a plenary speaker, the event looks to highlight the many different ways that location intelligence and GIS is "Extending the reach".

To make sure you get the most out of the OZRI / APUC  conference, why not consider one of our preconference workshops or our training course; System Architecture and Design Strategies presented by Dave Peters, author of Building A GIS (our feature book this month).

So how do we make a donut hole?

 

 

It's easy to clip out the edges of our polygons but what happens when we want to cut out an inner section?


Some polygons have a defined void inside. This is true for vegetation communities, odd shaped property boundaries or when your mapping geology.

So how do we make a donut hole?

  1. Start editing, then create a feature, the new 'hole'.
  2. Make sure the new feature is selected.
  3. Choose Clip from the editor drop down, and choose to Discard the area that intersects, and either keep it and add attributes, or delete it by pressing the delete key.

   

Watch this short demonstration of creating a donut hole.
