MPSuperShape 1.0

MPSuperShape solves this problem. MPSuperShape can be used to combine multiple shapes into one large shape. It can also be used to find intersections (overlaps) between multiple shapes. Shapes can also be transferred into or out of MapPoint using MPSuperShape's GML import and export options.

Possible applications include:

* Combining drive-time areas to find the total area covered by existing depots.

* Finding territory overlaps.

* Finding areas which meet multiple characteristics.

* Transferring shapes to/from other GIS systems.

MPSuperShape provides the following benefits:

* Combine multiple shapes

* Find the intersection (overlap) between shapes

* Import shapes from external (non-MapPoint) files

* Export shapes to external (non-MapPoint) files

* Copy shapes between different MapPoint maps - reuse the same shapes on multiple maps!

The import and export options support GML. GML is an XML-based open GIS format that is managed by the Open Geospatial Consortium.

Requirements: MapPoint 2006 (or later), .NET Framework 2.0 (or later), and Windows XP or Vista required.
