Delete Points in Polygons (DelPoi)
Type: Batch Application
Deletes points (symbols and text entities) that are inside polygons.
Detailed Description
Searches polygons user-defined layers and deletes points that fall inside the polygons. Points may be symbols or text and points may be deleted or moved to another layer.
Layers that are turned off will not be considered even if specified. Delete Points in Polygons is undoable.

Parameters for Delete Points Inside Polygons
Workspaces mode
Defines the workspace compare mode.
Do not compare between workspaces |
Points will only be compared against polygons in the same workspace. |
Compare between workspaces |
Points will be compared to polygons in other workspaces. |
Workspaces to consider
Defines the workspaces to consider. If workspaces mode is set to “Do not compare…”, then this option is displayed, and applies to points and polygons.
Workspaces to consider for points
Defines the workspaces to consider for points (symbols and text). If workspaces mode is set to “Compare between…”, then this options is displayed. This allows the workspaces to consider for points to be set separately from the workspaces to consider for polygons. For example, the user may want to only search the current workspace for points, but compare the points to polygons in all open workspaces.

Include open lines
Determines if open lines should be treated as polygons.
Yes |
Open lines will be considered polygons by assuming a closing segment between the last and first points. |
No |
Only existing polygons (closed lines) will be considered. |
Polygon layers
Defines the polygon layers to check points against. This may be entered as a number line. If left blank, all layers are considered. Layers that are turned off will not be considered even if specified.
Symbol layers
Defines the layers to search for symbols inside the polygons. This may be entered as a number line. If left blank, all layers are considered. Layers that are turned off will not be considered even if specified.
Text layers
Defines the layers to search for text inside the polygons. This may be entered as a number line. If left blank, all layers are considered. Layers that are turned off will not be considered even if specified.
Polygon graphic pointers
Defines the polygon graphic pointers to check points against. This may be entered as a number line. If left blank, lines with any graphic pointer are considered.
Symbol graphic pointers
Defines the symbol graphic pointers to check again the polygons. This may be entered as a number line. If left blank, symbols with any graphic pointers are considered.
Change mode for symbols
Defines the action to take on symbols that fall within the polygons.
Delete |
Delete the symbols. |
Move to target layer |
Move the symbols to the target layer as defined by “Target Layer for Symbols” and “Target layer mode for Symbols”. |
Target layer mode for symbols
Determines how the target layer for symbols is used when “Change mode for symbols” is set to “Move to target layer”.
= |
The symbol layer is changed to the “Target layer for symbols”. |
+ |
The “Target layer for symbols” is added to the existing symbol layer to compute a final target layer for the symbol. The symbol layer is changed to the computed target layer. |
Target layer for symbols
If the Change mode for symbols is set to “Move to target layer” this parameter defines the layer to move symbols to. The Target layer mode for symbols determines how this number is used to determine the final target layer.
Change mode for text
Defines the action to take on text that falls within the polygons.
Delete |
Delete the text. |
Move to target layer |
Move the text to the target layer as defined by “Target Layer for Text” and “Target layer mode for Text”. |
Target layer mode for text
Determines how the target layer for text is used when “Change mode for text” is set to “Move to target layer”.
= |
The text layer is changed to the “Target layer for text”. |
+ |
The “Target layer for text” is added to the existing text layer to compute a final target layer for the symbol. The text layer is changed to the computed target layer. |
Target layer for text
If the Change mode for text is set to “Move to target layer” this parameter defines the layer to move text to. The Target layer mode for text determines how this number is used to determine the final target layer.
