Calculate features contained by polygons

[Vasile_CristianStan]

Hi all,

I need to calculate how many small features (polygons) are contained in a bigger features from a different shape. It's possible to calculate from vectors or i must convert to raster. If is possible how I can do that?



Thanks!
Cristian

Couldn't you do a select by location and see how many features were selected? Select from smallpoly that are within largepoly? Or am I misunderstanding what you're asking?

I need something that calculates this automatically because i have to deal with large amount of data. It is not only one large poly.
