Spatial joins

[Dag_MartinRomslo]

I have two polygon layers. Is it possible to do a spatial join in ArcPad?
I want to use a match option COMPLETELY_WITHIN on a polygon in layer 1 on layer 2.

Hi Dag,

You cannot do spatial joins out of the box, but if you were really keen you could write your own. I suppose you could select a polygon 'A' to see if each vertex was completely within polygon 'B' using the IsPointIn method. If you were using AXF data you could also compare the polygon table and run a SQL query to compare the
[TR="bgcolor: beige"]
[/TR]

SHAPE_XMIN

SHAPE_YMIN

SHAPE_XMAX

SHAPE_YMAX

fields.

That sort of work tends to be left to ArcMap where you can apply all sorts of wonderful topology rules.

Let me know if you need any more help with this.

Cheers,

Gareth

Thank you. I'm not using AXF, but the JScript code to do the job should be pretty simple.
