Menu | Edit > Soundings > Group By Area |
Group soundings by one or more geographic areas defined by one or more area feature codes.
Sounding groups are created for two or more soundings. Sounding groups store sounding data more efficiently by combining each group of soundings with identical attribute values into a single sounding group.
Only area geometries are considered – all other geometries are ignored.
The exterior and interior boundaries of the given area geometries are used to group soundings.
An error occurs if the dataset already has grouped soundings or specified area geometries overlap.
