Spatial Manager for BricsCAD
Documentation

Centroids

Allows you to generate polygon Centroids (Point objects) by adopting the polygons data, or add Centroids data to the polygons that contain them.

Centroids

The command ‘SPMCENTROID’ in Spatial Manager™ for BricsCAD includes two functionalities:

  1. Generate centroids (point entities) for the selected polygons. The polygon data, if any, will also be attached to the centroid entities.
  2. Capture the selected centroid data to add it to a copy of the selected polygons that contain them.

Centroid parameters window
  • Entities selection: Review selection control.
  • Table/Layer name: Defines the target Layer and data table name for the centroids.
    • Apply random colors to new Layers.
  • Treat closed polylines as polygons: When checked (default value), all closed polylines are considered polygons.

Copy data from centroids to polygons (capture centroids)

  • Centroids selection: Any point entity.
  • Polygons selection: Any polygonal entity.
  • Capture centroids options:
    • Create also polygons without centroid found.
  • Table/Layer name: Defines the target Layer and data table name for the created polygons.
    • Apply random colors to new Layers.
  • Create: Duplicate polygon entity type, borders, or polygons.
    • Fill areas using Hatches.
  • Treat closed polylines as polygons: When checked (default value), all closed polylines in the drawing will be considered polygons.
