Areas of Influence

The command ‘SPMINFLUENCEAREAS’ in Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD allows you to generate polygons defined by the set of points closest to each point of a selection of points in the drawing (Voronoi diagram). Each polygon generated will adopt the same data (if any) as the corresponding point.
