Dissecting a Shapefile/Creating Corridors
Tren314
Global Mapper User
Hello,
I am looking for a way to create a simple point in the exact middle of a polygon or create crosshair lines dividing a shapefile into four.
OR
My end goal is to create corridors between several small shapefiles. The corridors must be 3km wide, and the shapes are around 2km wide. I am by no means a Global Mapper "expert", and have absolutely no idea where to begin. I am also trying to keep the final area as small as possible, which means my measurements must be as close to exact as possible.
If anyone has ANY suggestions on where I should begin, it would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a jpeg that shows a small area of the shapes that I am joining. Using Global Mapper version 12.01.

THANK YOU!!

Using the Digitizer Tool you can select areas, then right-click and select the Advanced Feature Creation submenu option to create points at the centroids of the areas.
I'm not quite sure exactly what you mean by corridors, but you can also create buffer areas around areas and lines using the Digitizer Tool.
Thanks,

The point creation is exactly what I was looking for! I drew a line between and found the Create Buffer tool, but did not see the Centroid point creation. Thank you so much!
