Overlapping area in one layer

[Lisa]

Hello,
I am trying to find the overlapping area within one layer with
circles. Thus the features in the layer are overlapping each other.
Finally I want to delete the overlapping area. Does anyone have an
idea?

Thanks Lisa

Lisa,

 

You can use the Check regions function to find and mark overlapping areas within the same table.

 

The overlapping areas will be inserted into the editable layer of the map

Hi again!
Sorry, I just tried your tip but I cannot delete the whole object. I
want to delete the overlapping parts, so that I can use the
"information tool" all over the circles and always get just one ID
with all attributes of one circle and not the two overlapping circle
anymore. What did I do wrong?

Thanks!
Lisa

You can use the Erase function in the Objects menu to delete the overlapping portions of the circles, using the new overlap table objects as your erasing mask.

Or you can use the Clean function in the Objects menu.

This has the feature "Overlap Removal" that will eliminate overlapping areas in designated regions.

This does however kind of blindfolded just assign the overlapping area to one of the overlapping polygons and removes it from the others.

I think it will "add" the overlapping area to the biggest of the regions. I could be wrong, it could also be that region that has the longest boundary with the overlapping area. I can't remember which is the case.

Using this tool will require that you select all the regions from the layer and that the layer is editable.
